Crosstown Expressway (Toronto)
- Crosstown Expressway (Toronto)
The Crosstown Expressway was a proposed expressway to be built in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It would have begun at the junction of Black Creek Drive and eastern end of the Richview Expressway and using the CN/CP railway corridor north of Dupont Street to Mount Pleasant Road. East of Mount Pleasant Road, the expressway would have cut into Rosedale to connect with Bayview Avenue. While land was obtained, very little of the expressway was actually built, apart from an interchange at the Don Valley Parkway, which now connects the Parkway to the Bayview Avenue Extension and Bloor Street.
