Don Valley Parkway Maintenance Closure: May 8 to May 11

From 11:00pm on Friday, May 8 until 5:00am on Monday, May 11, the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) will be closed from Hihgway 401 to the Jarvis Street exit on the Gardiner Expressway for maintenance, cleaning and inspection. During the closure, City road crews, engineers and contractors will conduct road resurfacing, crack sealing, replace guardrails, repair lighting and signage, repaint lane markings and more. 

If you’re travelling into the city this weekend, please plan ahead and take public transit if possible. The City is working with map apps to ensure they share up-to-date information about the DVP maintenance closure and alternate routes.

Completing this work during a single closure reduces the need for multiple overnight lane restrictions, which are more disruptive for motorists and less safe and efficient for crews. The City will implement a comprehensive traffic management plan to mitigate traffic congestion on alternate routes during maintenance work, including:

  • Deploying Traffic Agents
  • Adjusting traffic signal timing
  • Advance messaging using electronic messaging boards
