Photos: Toronto's Don Valley Parkway washed out, covered in mud
One of Toronto’s busiest commuter arteries is expected to reopen in both directions by late Wednesday morning, after being shut down overnight by some of the severest flooding ever seen on the roadway
Overnight heavy rain caused the Don River to spill its banks, sending water onto parts of the lower end of the Don Valley Parkway in Toronto, May 29, 2013. The highway was closed between Bloor Street and the Gardiner Expressway. At 8 a.m. the waters were receding, leaving mud that made the highway look more like a beach than a roadway.Peter Power/The Globe and Mail
