Taking the TTC this weekend

September 18, 2026

The TTC is advising customers of several temporary service adjustments this weekend to accommodate planned infrastructure improvements, modernization work, and major city events.

Weekend closure on Line 1 Yonge-University St Clair to College

Subway service on Line 1 between St Clair and College stations will be replaced by shuttle buses on Sept. 19 and 20 due to important track work required to improve subway speeds between Wellesley and College stations. Crews will also leverage this closure to conduct station maintenance and install communications cabling.

TTC staff will be available to assist customers and answer questions, and Wheel-Trans service will be available upon request.

Summerhill and Rosedale stations will be closed, as will the Dundonald St. entrance at Wellesley Station. All other stations will remain open for customers to purchase or load a PRESTO card, buy a PRESTO Ticket, and connect to surface routes.

Monday to Friday – early nightly closures on Line 1 between St Clair and College stations

Subway service on Line 1 between St Clair and College stations will end at 11:59 p.m., each night from Mon., Sept 21, through Thurs., Sept. 24, due to planned track and station work. Subway service will resume each day at 6 a.m.

Shuttle buses will operate frequently between stations. TTC staff will be available to assist customers and Wheel-Trans service will be available upon request.

Summerhill and Rosedale stations will be closed, as well as the Dundonald St. entrance at Wellesley Station. All other stations will remain open for customers to purchase or load a PRESTO card, buy a PRESTO Ticket, and to connect to surface routes.

While most subway maintenance is completed overnight when the system is closed, some larger projects require early nightly and weekend closures to allow crews safe and uninterrupted access to complete critical infrastructure improvements.
