Kingston-Queen Loop - Lubricator Improvement
What are we doing and why?
To help reduce noise from streetcar operations, TTC track crews have been installing a new streetcar lubricator unit at Kingston-Queen Loop. Work started on September 17, 2025.
Work activities include breaking concrete, installing the new streetcar track lubricator unit, and replacing the concrete and asphalt. Some electrical work is required before the lubricator is placed online.
Work hours
- Concrete breaking and removal work will generally take place between 7 am. and 9 p.m.
- Expected overnight activities include placing new concrete and clean-up.
- Concrete breaking and removal have been completed.
- New concrete has been successfully placed.
- Installation of the new streetcar track lubricator unit is scheduled for late October.
- Electrical work will be completed following the installation of the lubricator unit.
Traffic, pedestrian and cyclist restrictions
No expected impacts to Kingston Road and Queen Street East. All work will take place within the streetcar loop property.
