TTC completes streetcar power network repairs at King and Spadina, restores service

TTC crews have completed repairs at King and Spadina, and 504 King and 508 Lake Shore streetcar service has resumed regular routing. 510 Spadina buses will return to regular routing after the intersection is de-iced this morning.

Statement from Greg Percy, TTC CEO

After working day and night for the past three days, TTC crews have completed extensive repairs at the intersection of King St. and Spadina Ave., which means it can reopen for streetcar service.

I want to thank everyone for their tireless efforts to complete this work quickly and safely. I also want to thank our customers for their patience during the closure.

This complex intersection has multiple intertwining cables and connectors supported by multiple poles.

All of this infrastructure had first to be inspected to determine the extent of the damage.

Once the inspection was complete, crews had to re-string the cables and restore power.

With this work complete, the 504 King and 508 Lake Shore streetcar service can resume on King St., and the 510 Spadina replacement buses can return to regular routing.

I want to recognize everyone’s hard work and dedication to getting this done.
