As constructions season approaches, Toronto's roads are about to become a lot busier as the city plans to finish 90 km of road resurfacing work this year.

Councilor Denzil Minnan-Wong announced the city's $140-million plan to improve Toronto's municipal roads and bridges at a press conference Thursday.

These improvements will include filling potholes, sidewalk repairs, routine maintenance and other road work.

The city will also spend $60 million on watermain and sewer replacement, and initiatives like installing new planters and trees.

Minnan-Wong told journalists gathered at Burnhamthorpe and Martin Grove Roads that the city will be embarking on an "expansive road and repair program."

"We are committed to doing what it takes to keep our roads and bridges in a state of good repair," he said.

Major resurfacing projects will include:

  • Spadina Ave. from Bremner Blvd. to King St. W
  • Danforth Rd. from Midland Ave. to McCowan Rd.
  • Burnhamthorpe Rd. from Martin Grove Rd. to the East Mall
  • Finch Ave. from Bayview Ave. to the Don River
  • Wilson Ave. from Dufferin St. to Keele St.
