Wilson Station Rehabilitation on Allen Road

Project Overview

Constructed in the mid-1960s (and last modified in 1976), the Wilson Station’s mezzanine bridge and bus underpass, which are part of the Allen Road infrastructure are deteriorating. TTC is undertaking a vital state-of-good repair project to rehabilitate these two structures. Completing the work will ensure TTC maintains the long-term safety of the bridge and our transit operations and avoids significant long-term risks/costs from deferred maintenance.

Timeline

As early as April 1, 2025 to late 2025 *

• Work on Allen Road will typically take place from Mondays to Saturdays between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. and Sundays between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m.
• Work inside the station and the underside of the bus underpass will be done during non-operating hours (Monday to Saturday 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. and Sunday 2 a.m. to 7 a.m.).
• Any overnight work will be communicated when specific dates are available.

  * Estimated time for major work on Allen Road. It is accurate at the time of this communication and is subject to changes due to unforeseen circumstances.

Benefits

By undertaking structural rehabilitation work at the mezzanine bridge and the bus underpass now, TTC could reduce maintenance requirements over the next 25 to 30 years. Specifically,

• Existing leakage could be stopped.
• The life of the mezzanine bridge could be extended.
• Future maintenance costs could be reduced.
