Downtown Toronto Intersections Reopen Early

About this episode

Torontos Downtown Intersections Reopen Early: College & Bay, Queen & Broadview to Reopen This Friday

Two major downtown intersections in Toronto, College and Bay, and Queen and Broadview, are set to reopen this Friday night, weeks ahead of schedule. The closures, which began in mid-November and earlier this month respectively, were initially planned to last until late April and mid-April. The early reopenings are a result of city leaders ramping up crews and expediting the timelines. The work included fixing old streetcar tracks, repairing water mains, and upgrading sewers. This follows a pattern of quick wins, including last years early reopenings at King and Dufferin, and the Gardiner Expressway finishing over a year ahead. The city is committed to easing gridlock and improving the streetcar system.

0:00It's March 27th. Welcome to Toronto News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Good news for Toronto drivers and commuters. Two busy downtown intersections, College and Bay, and Queen and Broadview are reopening this Friday night. Mayor Olivia Chow shared the update, saying the work wrapped up weeks ahead of schedule. The Queen and Broadview closure started in mid-November last year to fix old street car tracks and two 112-year-old water mains. City plans had that push to late April. Meanwhile, Bay and College shut down earlier this month for similar track repairs plus sewer upgrades originally set for mid-April. City leaders ramped up crews and squeezed the timelines to get it done fast. Folks like Councillor Paula Fletcher checked the Queen Street work Thursday night and called it a solid job. This fits a pattern of quick wins, including last year's early reopenings at King and Dufferin and the Gardener Expressway finishing over a year. Ahead, Toronto's pushing forward on these fixes, easing gridlock and keeping the street car system running smoother for everyone.
