Drivers will need to plan for extra time using the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) for the next several months.
A major construction project has now started on the Bayview/Bloor ramp, which leads traffic to and from the highway.
“The City of Toronto is planning to rehabilitate the Don Valley Parkway Ramp Bridge over Bayview Avenue Extension and Road Resurfacing on Bloor Ramp between Bayview Avenue to Don Valley Parkway,” a construction notice for the project says.
“This work will ensure that the bridge and road meet today’s standards and remain safe into the future.”
The City says work will tackle a number of repair projects, which include reconstruction of the concrete bridge deck, substructure piers, abutments, and wingwalls.
The ramp will also be resurfaced.
Drivers can expect significant delays using the combined ramp at Bayview/Bloor to both enter and exit the DVP with single lane restrictions due to be in effect for the duration of work.
Construction had originally been planned to begin in June, but was delayed into September.
The project is expected to be complete in May 2025.
