TTC advises of upcoming subway closures and bus route adjustments
This Sat., May 25, and Sun., May 26, there will be no subway service on the portion of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth between Kennedy and Woodbine stations due to planned track work related to the Scarborough Subway Extension project and future implementation of Automatic Train Control on Line 2.
Shuttle buses will run, stopping at each station along the route. TTC staff will be on hand to direct customers to shuttle boarding and offloading locations. Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance.
All subway stations will be open for customers to load PRESTO cards, purchase PRESTO tickets and connect to surface routes.
Monday – Friday early nightly subway closures between St Claire and Sheppard-Yonge stations
Mon., May 27 to Fri., May 31, subway service on the portion of Line 1 Yonge-University between St Clair and Sheppard-Yonge stations will end nightly at 11 p.m. to accommodate station improvements and track work.
Shuttle buses will run, stopping at each station along the route. TTC staff will be on hand to direct customers to shuttle boarding and offloading locations. Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance.
Lawrence Station will be closed. All other subway stations will remain open for customers to load PRESTO cards, purchase PRESTO tickets and connect to surface routes.
While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the conclusion of service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.
Reduced subway speed zones
The TTC is advising customers travelling on several portions of Line 1 Yonge-University and Line 2 Bloor-Danforth of reduced speed zones, which may result in longer than normal travel times along certain sections of the subway.
As a safety precaution, the TTC reduces speed along sections of rail where maintenance is required, allowing trains to run safely during service hours while minimizing disruptions to customers. They also protect workers who may be required at track level to conduct routine or emergency inspections.
Customers are encouraged to plan ahead and consider the additional time they may need for their trips. A complete list of current reduced speed zones can be found on the TTC website at: https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service/Reduced-Speed-Zones.
