Toronto To See Several Major Road Closures This Weekend

Construction, a street festival, and a charitable bike ride are bringing a slew of road closures to Toronto this weekend.

Some major highways and downtown streets will be inaccessible between Friday, June 9 and Sunday, June 11, likely making Toronto's already bad traffic congestion even worse.

It's a good weekend to leave your car at home, but, with several route changes and subway closures impacting TTC service, it's probably best to just walk.

Here are the upcoming Toronto road closures to avoid:
