Ongoing lane closures on the Gardiner Expressway have caused plenty of headaches for Toronto drivers over the past several months, but a new release from the Ontario government reveals a rare bit of good news. It's been a fraught few months for frequenters of the Gardiner Expressway as the major artery undergoes a massive rehabilitation project to ensure the expressway's longevity. Since Section 2 of the Gardiner Expressway Strategic Rehabilitation Plan, intended to breathe new life into the decaying thoroughfare, kicked off in November 2023, drivers have been plagued with lane closures, reducing busy stretches to, at worst, two lanes in either direction for months on end. "These measures mean that we're on track to reopen all lanes on the Gardiner Expressway more than 15 months ahead of the original schedule." "Thanks to our collaboration to accelerate this critical rehabilitation work, we are tracking well ahead of schedule, which means less disruption for our residents, visitors and businesses."
