Drivers who use the Gardiner Expressway will now see all of its lanes open after a one-and-a-half-year-long closure saw one lane in each direction off limits due to construction work.

Mayor Olivia Chow announced Monday morning that drivers can now use all six lanes between Dufferin Street and Strachan Avenue.

Since April 2024, drivers had to deal with lane reductions on the expressway with one lane closed in each direction, which caused daily delays and increased traffic.

However, she did note there will be a temporary full closure this upcoming weekend on the night of Nov. 1 (dependent on the Toronto Blue Jays schedule as they could be playing Game 7 of the World Series in Toronto).

The full closure of the Gardiner Expressway from Spadina Avenue to Highway 427 will last until 7 a.m.
