Toronto police say the nortbound Don Valley Parkway has been reopened after an investigation near the Leaside Bridge.

Officials closed the DVP northbound from the Gardiner Expressway to Don Mills late Friday morning, forcing vehicles onto nearby local roads.

They also closed the following on-ramps: Don Roadway, Eastern Ave, Queen St, Dundas St, and Danforth Ave.

Just after 2 p.m., police tweeted the highway was reopened.

Sgt. Brett Moore said officers were called to the scene due to a serious collision involving a 56-year-old male.

Moore said the man was pronounced dead on scene. He said the investigation is still underway as to how he came on the highway.

Investigators are speaking to witnesses.
