Upcoming subway closures and weekend service adjustments

This Sat., Sept. 14, and Sun., Sept. 15, there will be no subway service on the portion of Line 1 Yonge-University between St Clair West and Sheppard West stations. This temporary closure is necessary to address reduced speed zones along the route.

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

All subway stations will remain open for customers to load PRESTO cards, purchase PRESTO tickets, and connect to surface routes. Entrance closures will be in effect at Glencairn Station (Viewmount Ave.), and Yorkdale Station (Ranee Ave.).

Monday to Friday – Early nightly subway closures between St Clair and York Mills stations

Starting Mon., Sept. 16, until Fri., Sept. 20, subway service on the portion of Line 1 Yonge-University between St Clair and York Mills 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. TTC staff will be on hand to direct customers to shuttle boarding locations. Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance.

Lawrence Station will be closed during these hours. All other subway stations will remain 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.

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.
