Around 7 a.m., Toronto police said they had closed the Don Valley Parkway’s on/off ramp at Bloor and Bayview due to flooding.
“Vehicles appear to be stuck in flood,” police wrote on social media. “No injuries reported.”
Bayview was also briefly closed by the Brickworks.
By around 12 p.m., TRCA said that it had passed, but warned heavy rain would still have left some effects.
“Flooding is not expected in TRCA watersheds, however due to the total rainfall already received and additional rainfall expected, and combined with saturated ground conditions, water levels in rivers continue to be higher and flowing faster than usual throughout the day,” the agency wrote.
“The ground is already saturated because TRCA watersheds received 31-74 mm of rain overnight and into this morning, which will limit the ability to absorb more rainfall.”
