Portions of TTC Lines 1 and 2 to close this weekend
This weekend, Sat., Apr. 10 and Sun., Apr. 11, there will be no subway service on the portion of Line 1 between Finch and St Clair stations due to construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT (ECLRT). The TTC will also take advantage of this closure to continue installing its upgraded ATC signalling system.
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. In addition to the shuttles, the 97 Yonge bus and the University side of Line 1 will be available as alternatives during the closure.
North York Centre Station will be closed. All other stations will remain open for fare sales and access to surface routes and Line 4.
At Sheppard-Yonge Station, the automatic entrances/exits at Yonge St. and Poyntz Ave. and at Yonge St. and Anndale Dr. will be closed. At York Mills Station, the Old York Mills Rd. entrance/exit will be closed. At Lawrence Station, the automatic entrances/exits at Ranleigh Ave. and Bedford Park Ave. will also be closed. Other entrances and exits will be available for customers at each subway station.
Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance.
Sunday
This Sun., Apr. 11 only, subway service on the portion of Line 2 between St George and Broadview stations will begin by noon to accommodate track work and beam replacement on the Prince Edward (Bloor) Viaduct.
Shuttle buses will run frequently. Bay and Sherbourne stations will be closed. All other stations will remain open for fare sales and connection to surface routes and Line 1.
Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance.
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 state-of-good-repair work as well as ATC signal upgrades.
The TTC is committed to keeping customers informed about work and events that impact service and about alternate routes. For the most up-to-date information, follow @TTCNotices on Twitter or sign up for eAlerts.
