Early nightly subway closures on Line 2 next week

Mon., Sept. 23 through Thurs., Sept. 26, subway service on the portion of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth between Victoria Park and Kennedy stations will end nightly at 11 p.m.

On Fri., Sept. 27, subway service between Woodbine and Kennedy stations will end at 11 p.m., leading to a full weekend closure between these stations.

The weeknight and weekend closures will enable TTC crews to conduct track-level work, including replacing a rail switch at Warden Station and preparatory work for the future Automatic Train Control (ATC) installation on Line 2.

A frequent shuttle bus service will run, stopping at each station along the route. Warden Station is not equipped with elevators. Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance.

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.

The TTC is committed to keeping customers informed about work and events that impact service, as well as alternate route options. For the most up-to-date information, follow @TTCNotices on X or sign up for eAlerts.
