As of Monday, the eastbound lanes of Queens Quay from Spadina to Bay are closed till spring.
It's the first stage of the $110-million redesign of the central section of the waterfront, planned in part by
Waterfront Toronto, that is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2015.
Traffic is being redirected at Lower Spadina Avenue north to Lake Shore Boulevard. The TTC is also being diverted, and the stop at Rees is temporarily suspended, though pedestrian access to shops and homes will not be affected.
The second stage of the project, which will involve the north side of the street handling westbound traffic, will begin next summer once work on the south side of the 1.7-kilometre length of street has been completed.
