Upcoming subway closures on Line 1 Yonge-University
This Sat., Feb. 10 and Sun., Feb. 11, there will be no subway service on the portion of Line 1 Yonge-University, between St George and St Andrew stations due to track maintenance work and station upgrades.
Due to traffic congestion along the route, the TTC will not be running shuttle buses. However, the TTC is increasing service on downtown streetcar routes to ensure customers have convenient transit options in place of subway service.
For downtown travel from the University side of Line 1, customers can take a 510 Spadina streetcar from Spadina Station, and transfer to connecting eastbound services at College St. (506 Carlton streetcar), Dundas St. (505 Dundas streetcar), Queen St. (501 Queen replacement bus), or King St. (504 King).
On the Yonge side of Line 1, customers can connect to westbound services at Wellesley Station (94 Wellesley bus), College Station (506 Carlton streetcar), Dundas Station (505 Dundas streetcar), Queen Station (501B Queen on Church St.), or King Station (504 King streetcar).
Museum, Queens Park and St Patrick stations will be closed. All other subway stations will remain open for customers to load PRESTO cards, purchase PRESTO tickets and connect to surface routes.
Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance. Extra Wheel-Trans vehicles will be available in the downtown core for any customer who requires an accessible connection at a station that may not be accessible.
Monday – Thursday early subway nightly closures
Mon., Feb. 12, through Thurs., Feb. 15, subway service on the portion of Line 1 Yonge-University between Spadina and King stations will end nightly at 11 p.m., enabling track maintenance along sections of rail that are experiencing slower than normal speeds.
Shuttle buses will be running and TTC staff will be on hand to direct customers to boarding and offloading locations. All subway stations will be open for customers to load PRESTO cards, purchase PRESTO tickets, and connect to surface routes.
Spadina and King stations are not accessible for customers with mobility needs. Customers who require accessible connections can exit at Dupont Station on the University side of Line 1, or at Queen Station on the Yonge side.
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.
Reduced speed zones
The TTC is advising customers travelling on several portions of Line 1 Yonge-University and Line 2 Bloor-Danforth of reduced speed zones, which may result in longer than normal travel times along certain sections of the subway.
As a safety precaution, the TTC reduces speed along sections of rail where maintenance is required, allowing trains to run safely during service hours while minimizing disruptions to customers. They also protect workers who may be required at track level to conduct routine or emergency inspections.
Customers are encouraged to plan ahead and consider the additional time they may need for their trips. A complete list of current reduced speed zones can be found on the TTC website at: https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service/Reduced-Speed-Zones
The TTC is committed to keeping customers informed about work and events that impact service, as well as alternate route options. For the most up-to-date information, follow @TTCNotices on X or sign up for eAlerts.
