Lane Restrictions

The BRT will be closed from from Tangiers Road to Keele Street. There will be single lane restrictions and periodic lane diversions on Keele Street at Murray Ross Parkway. Traffic control personnel will help ensure safe movement of pedestrians and vehicular traffic. This work is expected to take approximately four hours.

Detour Route

A detour route is now open around the intersection of Keele Street and Finch Avenue West to help ease traffic during construction. The Tangiers Road detour route extends from the Murray Ross Parkway extension to Toro Road back on to Keele Street.

TTC Bus Route Services

TTC buses that normally use the BRT will be using Finch Avenue West and Murray Ross Parkway as the diversionary route.
