From downtown to 3rd Line in Oakville, I must have drove this stretch a bajillion times through my life. I now live in BC and ride an Ebike. Thanks for the memories!
Great drive! I remember a few years ago you did another video about the Gardiner but had to end the video. So now I know what part of the road I didn’t see. And again, great vid!
Great video, as always, AP. By the way, I'm delighted that the Ford Government finally decided to upload the DVP and the Gardiner. Hopefully, standards on both roads can be improved with provincial resources. Although I am curious, will the QEW designation replace the Gardiners? Will the 404 and the DVP designation be concurrently extended? Lots of exciting things to consider. What do you think?
It’s my opinion that the 404 and QEW designations won’t be extended along the DVP and Gardiner Expressways. I wouldn’t mind however if the signage on both expressways was brought up to MTO standards however. Thanks for the comment.
I honestly really enjoy those videos throught the GTA. The Gardiner Expressway is pretty similar to the metropolitan autoroute in Montreal, exept the fact that it's pretty much less congested than it. Hopefully hwy 403 between Burlington & Mississauga will be widened to 5 lanes on each direction someday due to the heavy traffic there. I also wonder why the lanes linking the Gardiner to Lakeshore Boulevard had to be demolished (Outdated infrastructure I believe). I also really enjoy the last track of this video. I originally found this track over on Freeway Franks's channel. Also, Paul Alexander died this monday at 78 years old. He was well-known for spending over 70 years locked up on a Iron lung after getting Polio at only 6 years old. His cause of death is still unknown exactly but it's rumored that he died from COVID-19, according to his brother.
Thanks for the comment. The ramps to and from Lakeshore were demolished as part of a project to renaturalize and improve the mouth of the Don River Valley
The ramps are set to be replaced with new ramps a little bit further to the west, however they won’t be replaced for a few years the way the construction has been staged. I didn’t realize that Franks had used that song in one of his videos, it’s definitely a great song though. Thanks for the comment.
@@AsphaltPlanet1 I heard you've been to florida, maybe next time you go, you can go to the Nassau! I'm not forcing you, but it's a nice place. Btw, they drive of the left side of the road, so if you're not comfortable with driving on the left, you can take a taxi.
Well I appreciate that you aren’t forcing me. I don’t have any plans to visit the Bahamas, I wouldn’t to see videos from there on my channel. Thanks for the comment.
Great stuff as always, nothing says "iconic" like the drive on the Gardiner through downtown Toronto!

wait a minute, they now added a ramp to go on Gardiner express from Lake shoure?
Great drive! Do you have to exchange Canadian dollar to US dollar when buying something while doing road trip in the US?
If I were to pay in cash I would use US dollars, but it’s pretty easy to to pay with plastic.
