If you regularly take the Gardiner Expressway to and from work in Toronto (and are all too familiar with its congestion), you'll be relieved to hear that the city's massive rehabilitation of the highway is way ahead of schedule.Speaking at a construction site this week, Mayor Olivia Chow announced that work on a key section of the aging Gardiner Expressway has been accelerated significantly. "For a decade, our old infrastructure had been falling apart, and we know that the Gardiner needs to be rebuilt.
