Traffic Notice
Update: Night Closure of the Don Valley On-Ramp at Eastern Avenue from November 5 to 7
The previously announced evening closure of the Don Valley Parkway on-ramp at Eastern Avenue is now scheduled to take place on the nights of Wednesday, November 5, Thursday, November 6, and Friday, November 7, 2025.
Work will take place nightly from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. During this time, the Eastern Avenue on-ramp to the Don Valley Parkway will be closed. Drivers can access the DVP via the Lake Shore Boulevard East or Dundas Street on-ramps. Daytime access to the Eastern Avenue ramp will not be affected.
This work is required to allow crews to safely install a new watermain crossing beneath the ramp as part of the Broadview and Eastern Flood Protection Project. Paid Duty Officers will be on site to assist with traffic management. A protected pedestrian route and traffic management supports will remain in place during this period.
In addition, night work is anticipated at the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Broadview Avenue on one evening of November 10, 11, and 12, starting at 10:00 pm until 5:00 am. This work will be in preparation for the upcoming watermain connection at this intersection.
Residents can expect intermittent construction noise from equipment and machinery, such as saw-cutting, excavation, and truck movements. Minor ground vibration may occur at times but will be limited to short durations. Teams will be frequently monitoring noise for exceedances. Lane closures and traffic control personnel will be in place to maintain safe vehicle and pedestrian movement through the intersection. All efforts will be made to minimize disruption, and crews will complete the work as efficiently as possible.
Reminder: Lane Closure at Eastern Avenue and Broadview Avenue Beginning the Evening of Sunday, October 19 for 4 Weeks
Beginning the evening of October 19, the south curb lane of eastbound Eastern Avenue between Broadview Avenue will be closed to support watermain installation as part of the Broadview Eastern Flood Protection Project. One lane of traffic will be available in both directions. This work is being coordinated with the City of Toronto’s Eastern Avenue Bridge Rehabilitation Project. Line painting to establish the traffic configuration as shown in Map 1 will occur on October 23.
Night work will also take place at the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Broadview Avenue for two consecutive nights during the week of November 10, 2025, to complete watermain work. Additional work related to this section is planned for December, and a separate notice will be distributed with more information closer to that time. Paid Duty Officers will be on site to help manage traffic during this work.

Why are we doing it this way?
Before any construction begins, our teams carefully review every option to minimize disruption to the community. For the Don Valley Ramp, a night closure was selected because work must take place directly across the ramp entrance, restricting access. Given the high daytime traffic in this area, completing the work overnight was the least disruptive option.
Similarly, for the Eastern Avenue and Broadview Avenue intersection, overnight construction was chosen to avoid peak daytime traffic, minimize impacts on the community, and ensure the safety of both the public and construction crews. Nighttime work also allows the team to complete the project more efficiently with fewer vehicles and pedestrians in the area.
This project will provide flood protection to an area still at risk following the completion of the Port Lands Flood Protection project. It will address the critical need for flood protection infrastructure to improve long-term resilience and stormwater management in the area.
