Closure of Danforth Avenue between Warden and Eastwood for railway bridge work starts this Wednesday

Commuters along Danforth Avenue can expect traffic delays this week and next due to temporary road closures between Eastwood and Warden avenues for railway bridge work.

Starting on Wednesday, March 19, at 12:01 a.m., until Thursday, March 27, at 11:59 p.m., this section of Danforth Avenue will be fully closed to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

During this time, commuters are advised to plan their morning and evening commutes in advance to compensate for increased travel time.

The closure will allow Metrolinx crews to install metal girders across the roadway between the bridge piers using a mobile crane, which are intended to support a wider bridge and future fourth track for more frequent GO service along the Lakeshore East Line.

To complete the work in a timely manner, construction at the bridge site will be ongoing for 24 hours a day throughout the closure period.
