About The Project

The F.G. Gardiner Expressway Strategic Rehabilitation Plan addresses the rehabilitation of the expressway, extending from Highway 427 to the eastern limit at the Don Valley Parkway (DVP), including the 11-km at-grade section from Highway 427 to Dufferin Street with its 32 bridges and structures, and the 7-km elevated section from Dufferin Street to the DVP with 335 spans. With two eastbound lanes now rehabilitated and reopened, crews will begin the demolition and reconstruction of two centre lanes, before completing work on the remaining two westbound lanes. The full project is expected to be finished one year ahead of schedule and includes revitalizing 700 metres of elevated roadway from Dufferin Street to Strachan Avenue, reinforcing support structures, installing new streetlights and upgrading the traffic management system.
