King Street East - essential overhead maintenance

What we are doing and why

Planned watermain work will start on Queen Street East between Broadview and Davies avenues in mid-January 2026. TTC service is currently diverting:

• 501 Queen streetcars divert both ways via Parliament Street, Dundas Street and Broadview Avenue. There is no streetcar service on Queen Street East between Parliament Street and Broadview Avenue.
• 504 King streetcars only operates as far east as Distillery Loop. There is no streetcar service on King Street East, east of Sumach Street.

During these diversions, the TTC will take the opportunity to conduct maintenance where streetcars are not operating.

For up-to-date information on the watermain project and related TTC service, visit ttc.ca/QueenEast.

Overhead infrastructure upgrades

From mid-January 2026 until early February, Overhead crews will work at the following locations:

• King Street East and Queen Street East intersection (west of the DVP Bridge)
• King Street East from Sumach to River Streets

Thank you for your patience as we work to improve transit infrastructure in Toronto.
