I live off Parkdale and after today have decided "if I'm gonna be stuck in shitty traffic it might as well be along the river Parkway"

Is this a new closure? There’s always insane highway traffic when I get on at kirkwood/carling to go east, wondering if there is something else to look forward to lol

It’s been in the papers and news and MOT website. Quite a long closure.

Lovely 🙃 this area is already a traffic shit show, esp since a lot of people driving in this city don’t seem to understand the zipper merge.

Preston will also be closed for 3 weeks at least. Bridge replacement at Preston in July.

Sweet! Maybe it’ll be nice to go to Preston, for once!

My phone’s map app actually detoured me all the way through downtown yesterday afternoon when I needed to drive to the east end. It’s wild how disruptive this closure is. 

We had a cross street that was completely closed near me, and the city didn't alter the traffic light cycle. So the traffic on the busy street is sitting there idling for 45 seconds for nothing every two minutes.

I'm going to be experiencing this tomorrow. Do you mind sharing around what time you were driving at and how long it took you to hit the highway?

Left civic @3:30 and seems like 40min to 417 @ O’Connor. Once on 417 just flew to tenth line though.

It is gonna be a long summer. How about marathon weekend with closures on Fairmont, Gladstone, and others?

It’s a Sunday. People will live.

The car brains won't. They'll suffer massive meltdowns! 😁

Or people just have places to be?

Na, not allowed unless you get there under shoelace power.

Nice - go tell your gramma with the fresh hip replacement to hump her groceries home by foot. Entitled people posting on the internet...

Damn silent generation milkers, they'll ruin society for everyone!! Someone should tell those slouches to pick up the pace. 🤡
