The Dufferin Street bridge has been placed under emergency closure for repairs that could take up to two months, the city said Friday.
Previously, only the southbound lane was closed for repairs, but the city said that additional damage discovered has increased the scope of needed work.
Vehicles will not have access to the bridge while crews facilitate the “necessary” repair work, a city release said.
The pedestrian sidewalk will remain open and people cycling can dismount and walk their bike across.
Previously, only the southbound lane had been closed for repairs, but the city said that additional damage has increased the needed efforts.

Road users in the area are advised to plan travel in advance, allow extra time and consider using public transit. More information on road closures in Toronto can be found by visting www.toronto.ca/RoadRestrictions.
