Gardiner Expressway

The Gardiner Expressway is a major elevated highway in Toronto, Canada, that runs along the city's waterfront. Built primarily in the 1950s and 1960s, it connects downtown Toronto to the western suburbs and serves as a key route for commuters and freight. The expressway helps improve traffic flow but has faced criticism for its impact on the waterfront and urban landscape. Over the years, plans have been proposed to rehabilitate, remove, or incorporate it into new urban development projects to better integrate transportation and public spaces.
