The City of Toronto is rehabilitating the following bridges and elevated roads near Eastern Avenue and Adelaide Street East: Eastern Avenue Bridge, Don Valley Parkway Off Ramp over Don River , Richmond Street East Bridge over King Street East, and Adelaide Street Bridge over King Street East.
Starting in October 2025, the southbound DVP off-ramp to Richmond Street will be fully closed until Spring 2026.
This information is being provided here due to the current labour dispute between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers which is preventing the delivery of flyers/neighbourhood mail to neighbouring residents. This and other City construction notices in Ward 13 can be found on the City's website.
Contract: 24ECS-BE-09SB
Start Date: Early August 2024
Anticipated End Date: Early 2027*

Previous notices:
In October 2025, the project will transition from Stage 3 to Stage 4, which includes the closure of the southbound DVP off-ramp to Richmond Street. The transition will occur over approximately four to six nights, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. During this time, activities will include line painting and relocating traffic control measures, such as temporary concrete barriers, fencing and signage. Efforts will be made to conduct the work as quietly as possible, however there will be some moderate noise during the transition period generated by large vehicles, backup alarms and the loading and unloading of materials. Throughout the four- to six-night transition period, the following nightly full road closures are anticipated: •DVP northbound on-ramp at Eastern Avenue•Richmond Street from Eastern Avenue to Power Street•Adelaide Street from Parliament Street to Eastern Avenue•Eastern Avenue from Sumach Street to Broadview Avenue
From October 2025 until Spring 2026, the following lane closures will be in place for Stage 4: •The southbound DVP off-ramp to Richmond Street will be fully closed•One eastbound lane on Eastern Avenue will be closed between Sumach Street and BroadviewAvenue•Richmond Street will be reduced to one lane at Eastern Avenue•Intermittent overnight DVP lane and ramp closuresThere will also be intermittent traffic disruptions to St. Lawrence Street, Lower River Street, and Bayview Avenue throughout this stage. Information about traffic impacts for the remaining work will be provided in future Construction Updates and email updates.
Stage 4 will require noisy demolition work, including asphalt removal, saw-cutting, and concrete chipping and breaking. All construction activities, including demolition, are permitted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The demolition work is expected to be complete by February 2026. The City will make efforts to complete demolition activities during the day, however, demolition in certain locations, including over the rail tracks, Don River and Don Valley Parkway, must be completed overnight to accommodate Metrolinx restrictions and DVP lane closure restrictions.
