Track Renewal

Bathurst Street, Lake Shore Boulevard West, and Fleet Street

Construction update

The City of Toronto has completed watermain replacement at the intersection of Bathurst Street, Lake Shore Boulevard West and Fleet Street intersection. In addition, the City of Toronto and TTC have completed streetcar renewal at the same intersection.  

From May 5 to 18, 2025, the TTC is replacing the curved streetcar tracks at the intersection of Bathurst Street/Eireann Quay and Queens Quay. Learn more about this project here.

This will be followed by streetcar track renewal on Bathurst Street, from Front Street to King Street between May 20 and June 1, 2025.

Once the TTC completes these streetcar track renewal projects in May, TTC crews will then test the newly installed tracks to ensure they are safe and reliable, prior to streetcar service resuming on June 22, 2025.
