Museum Station - Easier Access and Second Entrance and Exit

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 mid-2026*.

*subject to weather, unforeseen events

The Second Exit/Entrance will be constructed on the north end of Queen’s Park Circle. Elevator construction and structural rehabilitation will take place at the existing entrances to Museum Station on Queen’s Park. 

Traffic, cyclist and pedestrian details

• Queen’s Park lane restrictions will be in effect between south of Bloor Street to the north end of Queen’s Park Circle.
• Minimum of one lane in each direction through the work zones will be maintained at all times.
• A cycling detour is being maintained around the construction work zones Pedestrian travel around the work zones will be maintained.

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.

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