Upcoming TTC service changes to 509 Harbourfront and 511 Bathurst
February 12, 2025
Beginning next week, the TTC and the City of Toronto will begin replacing the aging watermain and streetcar tracks at the Bathurst St., Lakeshore Blvd. W. and Fleet St. intersection. This work will impact the 509 Harbourfront and 511 Bathurst streetcars.
Replacing worn streetcar tracks is crucial to maintaining state-of-good-repair on the TTC system,” said TTC Chair Jamaal Myers. “TTC teams are working hard to ensure that there are alternative routes available for customers and will be monitoring service and making adjustments as needed.”
We appreciate that construction and route diversions can be challenging, and we are making every effort to ensure that customers are aware of the upcoming diversions, as well as know how to use alternate routes to get to their destinations,” said TTC CEO Greg Percy. “I want to thank customers for their patience as we carry out this critical infrastructure work.”
Beginning Feb. 16 until June 21, 511 Bathurst streetcars will operate from Bathurst Station to King St. W. at Spadina Ave. 511B Bathurst replacement buses will operate from Bathurst St. at Queen St. W. to Exhibition Loop.
Starting Feb. 17 until March 29, 509 Harbourfront streetcars will operate between Union Station and Spadina Ave. only. Customers travelling between Spadina Ave. and Exhibition Loop can transfer to a 509B Harbourfront replacement bus to continue their journey. Customers are encouraged to check www.ttc.ca before beginning their journey, as the routing of the replacement buses may be adjusted slightly to accommodate traffic conditions and construction zones.
From March 30 until June 21, 509 Harbourfront streetcars will be suspended. Customers can use the 510A Spadina streetcar to travel between Union Station and Spadina Ave.
WheelTrans service will remain accessible in all areas where local traffic is permitted.
Work is being carried out in phases to avoid a full closure of the Bathurst St. and Lake Shore Blvd. W. intersection. Details of traffic and pedestrian impacts are available at https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/get-involved/public-consultations/infrastructure-projects/bathurst-street-lake-shore-boulevard-construction/.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of June 2025. Full details of the service adjustments are available at ttc.ca/BathurstLakeshore. Customers are also encouraged to follow @TTCNotices on X or sign up for eAlerts.
