Upcoming nightly subway closures and streetcar service adjustments

Monday to Friday – Early nightly subway closures between Victoria Park and Kennedy Stations

Beginning Mon., Oct. 21 through Fri., Oct. 25, subway service on the portion of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth between Victoria Park and Kennedy stations will end nightly at 11 p.m. to accommodate track work.

A frequent shuttle bus service will run, stopping at each station along the route. Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance.

All subway stations will be open for customers to load PRESTO cards, purchase PRESTO tickets, and connect to surface routes.

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.

Streetcar route adjustments

Starting Mon., Oct. 21 until Thurs., Oct. 24, 501 Queen and 301 Queen Night streetcar services will divert nightly between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., to accommodate rail grinding work near Queen St. E. and Brock Ave. Streetcars will redirect from Queen St. W., running both ways along King St. W. between Shaw St. and Roncesvalles Ave. 501 Queen replacement buses will run.

From Mon., Oct. 21 until Fri., Oct. 25, buses will replace 509 Harbourfront streetcars each night between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. to accommodate TTC infrastructure work at Queens Quay W. and Spadina Ave. Replacement buses will run between Union Station and Queens Quay Loop. At Union Station, customers will take the 509 Harbourfront replacement buses at street stops located on Bay St. at Front St.

Reduced subway 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.
