Traffic

Toronto road closure will be messy this weekend. So be prepared.


We've had a brief break from overly complicated Toronto road closures for the past couple of weeks, but feel free to kiss that calm goodbye.

This weekend is the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, which is causing a huge backlog in the southern end of Toronto.

These are perhaps the most complicated Toronto road closures we've ever encountered. But don't worry. We'll help you through it.

Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon

Effective: Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Since this event is a marathon it will block cross-traffic on all cross streets (including pedestrians) except where a bridge or tunnel exists over or under the road. That is the reason for the double listed roads, to include their cross street exits and entrances.
