Museum Station - Easier Access and Second Entrance and Exit

Construction at Museum Station

Effective until Q3 2026

What we are doing and why?

As part of the TTC’s commitment to safety and modernization, Museum Station (Line 1) will be getting a new second exit/entrance, and elevators to improve customer safety, accessibility and convenience by Q3 2026*.

*subject to weather, unforeseen events

The Second Exit/Entrance in the north end of Queen’s Park Circle was opened in May 2024. Elevator construction and structural rehabilitation continue at the north entrances to Museum Station on Queen’s Park.

UPDATES:

As of May 15, 2026, construction hoarding has been reduced and all lanes of traffic on Queen’s Park (two vehicle lanes and one bike lane in each direction) north of Queen’s Park Crescent are now open, with the exception of the section between the northeast and southeast staircases (including the southeast staircase), which will remain fenced off.
- The sidewalk on the east side is open.
- The hoarding on the west side of Queens Park and the pedestrian detour on the west side will remain (no impact to road traffic) and will be removed by the end of Q3.
Main Entrance (North Side Entrance) re-opened December 22, 2025.

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, and on Saturday after 9 a.m., with work after hours and on Sunday after 9 a.m. if required. As permitted, some overnight work will be required during the course of this project for safety and efficiency.

Overnight work is scheduled, as part of the plans to make Museum Station accessible. Noise associated with construction can be expected with this work, however crews will monitor levels and make efforts to keep them to a minimum.

What to expect

Construction trucks, equipment and site staff will be present in the general area.

Transit Service

Subway service at the station will be maintained throughout construction.
