Plan your Saturday shopping carefully. Metrolinx has warned that Bayview Ave will be closed between Soudan Ave and Eglinton Ave all day Saturday and into Sunday to let crews remove a tower crane used for the construction of the Leaside Station Main Entrance. The road closure will be implemented on Saturday August 7, 2021 at approximately 4 a.m. and will remain in place through to the morning of Sunday August 8, 2021. The closure has implications for the business district to the south has drivers try to find their way.
Buses running but diverted, police on duty
During this work, no through traffic will be permitted on Bayview between Soudan and Eglinton. Bayview will remain open north of Soudan Avenue for local traffic only. Traffic control personnel and police will be present, while this work takes place. Significant traffic, pedestrian, and TTC changes will be in effect.

Congestion likely on Mt. Pleasant, side streets
The knock-on effect of closing Bayview is very likely to be congestion on Mt. Pleasant and on side streets such as Hanna Ave, Banff Rd and many others.
