Upcoming subway closures and service adjustments
Monday to Friday – Early nightly subway closures between St Clair West and King Stations
Mon., Nov. 25 through Fri., Nov. 29, subway service on the portion of Line 1 Yonge University between St Clair West and King stations will end nightly at 11 p.m. to accommodate track work and station upgrades. The early nightly closures will lead into a full weekend closure of the same portion of Line 1 on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.
A frequent shuttle bus service will run, stopping at each station along the route. On the Yonge side of Line 1, customers who require the use of an elevator should exit the train at Queen Station and speak with a TTC staff member for assistance. Wheel-Trans service will be available from Queen Station.
Several subway stations will be closed from 11 p.m. nightly to accommodate maintenance and upgrades. There will be no access to Dupont, Museum, Queens Park, St Patrick, and Osgoode stations during these hours. At Spadina Station, the Kendal Ave. entrance will also be closed. All other subway stations and entrances will be 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.
