Richmond Street Off-Ramp Reopens: Commute Relief

0:00The Richmond Street Off-Ramp on the southbound Don Valley Parkway has been shut down since last October for rehab work, messing up commutes into downtown Toronto and creating major backups for drivers. Without that exit, folks have to bail at Bayview Avenue or loop around on Lakeshore Boulevard East or the Gardener Expressway, which is jam things. Up all the way to Don Mills Road on bad days, local drivers like those heading to court town neighborhoods are feeling the burn, tacking on 20 extra minutes to trips that used to be smooth, turning good days into gridlock nightmares. But relief is coming fast, according to the city's cheap engineer, who's wrapping up final touches like lighting and lane markings with the ramp set, to reopen around April 28th through early May. Meanwhile, keep an eye on upcoming maintenance. The Gardener shuts this weekend, dbp next, all time to overlap minimally with the ramp work and ease.
