TTC subway closures this weekend

Saturday

This Sat., June 6, there will be no subway service on the portion of Line 1 between Lawrence and Bloor-Yonge stations due to installation and testing of the ATC signalling system.

Replacement shuttle buses will run frequently, stopping at each station along the route. TTC staff will be on hand to direct customers to shuttle boarding and offloading locations, which will vary from station to station. In addition to the shuttles, the 97 Yonge bus and the University side of Line 1 will be available as alternatives during the closure.

Summerhill Station will be closed but all others will remain open for PRESTO fare sales and access to surface routes and Line 2.

Customers requiring Wheel-Trans can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance. As Lawrence Station is not yet accessible, all accessible connections should be made via York Mills Station instead.

Sunday

This Sun., June 7, there will be two simultaneous closures for track maintenance: one on the portion of Line 1 between Finch and Eglinton stations and the other on Line 3.

Line 1

Replacement shuttle buses will run, stopping at each station along the route. TTC staff will be on hand to direct customers to shuttle boarding and offloading locations, which will vary from station to station.

While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the conclusion of service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and ATC upgrades.

Periodic Line 3 closures are required as the TTC undertakes a complete life-extension rehabilitation of the tracks and vehicles to provide a more reliable and comfortable service.

The TTC is committed to keeping customers informed about work and events that impact service and about alternative routes. For the most up-to-date information, follow @TTCNotices on Twitter or sign up for eAlerts.
