WORK DETAILS

This project involves demolishing the existing York-Bay-Yonge off-ramp from the eastbound Gardiner Expressway and building a new, shorter and wider off-ramp that ends at Lower Simcoe Street. The new off-ramp will feed into a wider Harbour Street, with improvements to streetscaping. The work will occur in two phases, with a winter shut-down between.

Phase 1: Mid-July 2016 to December 2016 - involves constructing part of the foundations and substructure of the new ramp at Lower Simcoe. Work will take place under the existing ramp with no long-term closures of the Gardiner Expressway or Lake Shore Blvd. Temporary lane closures during off-peak hours on eastbound Lake Shore Blvd. will be required.

Phase 2: Mid-April 2017 to December 2017 - involves completing the foundations and substructure of the new ramp, demolishing the existing York-Bay-Yonge ramp and widening Harbour Street. During Phase 2, lanes on the Gardiner Expressway around the York-Bay-Yonge ramp and Harbour Street will be reduced.

Restoration of the York Street Park will take place in May 2018
