King Station Easier Access Project

Upcoming Bypass Work on Colborne Street as early as April 15, 2024

Timeline: As early as April 15, 2024

*Content / timeline accurate at time of printing.

What we are doing and why:

TTC is working to build elevators that will make King Station accessible.

To facilitate this work, crews will be conducting a sewer bypass on Colborne Street as early as April 15, 2024. The work area on Colborne Street must be expanded to complete the sewer bypass.

What to expect:

• Construction crews and construction vehicles will be present in the area.
• Work is conducted in stages, protective hoarding will be in place, street parking/roadways will be reduced in areas of construction.
• Driveways will remain accessible during construction, however, it may be restricted.

   

  Noise, vibration and work hours:

• Noise, dust and vibration associated with construction can be expected with this work. Efforts will be made to keep levels to a minimum.
• Majority of the work will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. As permitted, some weekend and overnight work may be required during the course of this project for safety and efficiency.

A map is included, the area expanded is indicated with diagonal hatch marks.

Traffic Management:

• Yonge Street will be reduced to one lane in each direction for the project to complete work safely.
• One lane between Scott Street to Yonge Street on Colborne Street will be maintained with no access to southbound Yonge Street.
• Local traffic only will be allowed on Jordan and Melinda Streets.
• The “no left turn” signage has been eliminated at Northbound Yonge and King Streets as well as Westbound King Street and Jordan Street.
• Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times with periodic detours.
• No impact to TTC streetcars, buses or subway service is expected during construction.
