Here are all the road closures in Toronto during Nuit Blanche this weekend
One of the biggest events in the city, Nuit Blanche, returns this Saturday, and it’s set to bring several road closures across Toronto.
This year the theme is “The Space Between Us,” which “invites artists to build bridges between cultures, communities and the environment, transforming the city with stories about their connection to place.”
The event is expanding across Etobicoke, North York, and Scarborough, which will evidentially create some gridlock.

Additionally, Queen Street will be closed between York Street and Bay Street, and between Bay Street and Victoria Street. Roads won’t reopen until 11 am on Sunday, October 2.
