They re-paved this lakeshore section to smooth out the rollercoaster bumps!
I guess their investigation found these bumps were one of the factors in the most recent multiple fatal car crash. I wonder if the January 2024 fatal crash was a possible cause too.
Safe travels.

...goodness, the supports holding up the road-that-was looks like they're held together by spit and glue though. >.<

makes you wonder if the people in those crashes would still be alive today had the work been done sooner...

Or if they'd been in anything other than a Tesla

And if they didn’t have an extra 4 people in the car (extra weight and ego) and many other factors for sure. All avoidable. Tragic.
The January collision was with a single occupant driver though.

Much more on this in report going to Executive next week: See p 42 of https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-251415.pdf
Dredging Program - Clearing the Accumulated Backlog in the Keating Channel
As part of its adoption of the May 2023 report, Council authorized City staff to undertake the sediment removal program and subsequently approved $24 million in funding through the 2024 budget process. Accordingly, the City has entered into an agreement with the TRCA to project manage the removal of the accumulated backlog which then allowed TRCA to enter into an agreement with Ports Toronto to undertake the operation. Underway since late summer of 2024, the dredging program is expected to remove approximately 150,000 cubic metres of accumulated sediment from the Keating Channel. Although it was originally anticipated that the operation would be complete by the end of 2025, and despite good progress through 2024, the amount of sediment contained within the channel indicates that the operation may extend into 2026. The work will continue to be completed within the existing approved budget. After PLFP is completed, flood waters will be directed through the new mouth of the Don River, the Keating Channel, and the new Don River 'spillway.' The Keating Channel, which Ports Toronto owns, will convey the majority of overflow in a flood event. Sediment will need to be regularly dredged from the Don River and at least every two years from the Keating Channel to maintain sufficient flow. In addition, the centre of operations will shift to the interim Sediment and Debris Management Area once it is complete and handed over to the City. It is anticipated that the TRCA will be taking the lead in overseeing dredging operations on behalf of the City. Discussions regarding the establishment of a long-term dredging program are currently underway with TRCA.

Now if they remove the rainbow tunnel on the DVP that will be the two landmarks I always looked out for going downtown as a kid.

Can you see the rainbow tunnel going south? I think you can see it going north.

I wonder if they will redo the just newly redone Lower Don trail here to widen it once all the bridge remnants are gone.

As far as I could see, they stopped the repaving just north of the ex-bridges . I assume they will widen the path in that area now the bridges are gone.
