Google Maps error shows DVP closed. City of Toronto says it's open

If you were driving around Toronto Saturday and checked Google Maps for the fastest route, you may have seen the Don Valley Parkway was closed. The only problem: it wasn't.

Just before noon, the City of Toronto said in a post on X that staff had been getting reports that Google Maps was erroneously showing the east end highway was closed.

"Just to confirm, all lanes on the DVP are currently open!" the post said. "We're working to get this error rectified."

One Reddit user posted online Saturday to say he was wondering why traffic was so light on the DVP during his drive downtown. They said they "hardly braked, and arrived earlier than normal" by about 20 minutes.

"Glad I didn't use [Google Maps] today," they said in the post.
