Blue Jays World Series dates throw a curve in city's plan to wrap up Gardiner construction next week

With the Toronto Blue Jays heading to the MLB World Series , the date of when the construction on the Gardiner Expressway will be completed might be up in the air.

Last week, the Star reported that all six lanes between Dufferin Street and Strachan Avenue could reopen as early as Oct. 27.

But that came with one caveat, according to Ontario Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. If the Blue Jays were to make it to the World Series, it could be pushed back “a couple of days,” with crucial closures potentially overlapping with the first two games against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Toronto this weekend.
