  • Toronto Tunnels Plan
    TORONTO TUNNELS PLAN 1 Toronto Tunnels Plan After reviewing traffic counts and traffic patterns throughout the City of Toronto using the latest traffic counts from the City’s transportation department, it clearly shows that the west end of the city has higher traffic levels and is prone to gridlock more than the east end. For example, traffic volumes on Highway 401 at Keele Street reach a peak of approximately 400,000 vehicles per day while volumes on Highway 401 in Scarborough is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day. Similarly, traffic volumes on the Gardiner Expressway at Dunn Avenue is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day while volume at Cherry Street at the expressway’s east end is approximately 85,000 vehicles per day. Also, there is a lack of a continuous north-south expressway between Highway 401 and the Gardiner Expressway between Highway 427 and the Don Valley Parkway, which is a width of nearly 20 kilometres. The only exception is the incomplete Allen Expressway which terminates at Eglinton Avenue. This area is served by a 2 network of local streets which are very narrow and often congested. Similarly, Highway 400 turns into Black Creek Drive south of Highway 401, which is a heavily congested arterial road which connects into very narrow local streets south of Eglinton Avenue. The area bounded by Highway 401 in the north, Highway 427 in the west, the Don Valley Parkway in the east and the Gardiner Expressway in the south is entirely made up of narrow four-lane local streets which are heavily congested and serving local businesses.

    2020 Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards LOWER SIMCOE STREET (YORK-BAY-YONGE) OFF RAMP TRANSPORTATION TABLE OF ABOUT THE PROJECT .........................................................................1 CONTENTS INNOVATION ..........................................................................................2 COMPLEXITY ........................................................................................3 SOCIAL AND/OR ECONOMIC BENEFITS ............................................5 ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS ..............................................................5 MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE CITY OF TORONTO ..........................6 PROJECT SUCCESS ............................................................................7 The ramp (left) during construction, with Rogers Centre and CN Tower in the background ABOUT THE PROJECT The City of Toronto is committed to remaking waterfront streets as “places” with high quality amenities for pedestrians and cyclists and designated parks to enrich the waterfront communities. These goals are embodied in the first principle of the City’s Central Waterfront Secondary Plan: Remove barriers and reconnect the City with Lake Ontario. One barrier that the City had struggled to mitigate was the Gardiner Expressway ramp terminals. In 2013, the City commissioned WSP (formerly MMM Group) to complete an Environmental Study to evaluate alternatives for the reconfiguration of the F. G. Gardiner Expressway York-Bay-Yonge eastbound off ramp. Recommendations in that report included constructing a new eastbound off ramp terminating at Lower Simcoe Street and widening Harbour Street between Lower Simcoe and Bay Streets. In 2015, the City retained WSP to design a new off ramp to replace the existing York-Bay-Yonge off ramp. The existing off ramp was 700 m long and terminated at Bay Street. The new one was to terminate at Lower Simcoe Street and be 500 m shorter. WSP undertook design and overall project management for preliminary and detailed design of the new bridge structure. The structure was completed in 2018.
