Kennedy Station north Platform A closure
The north side of Kennedy Station Platform A is closed for construction related to Metrolinx’s Scarborough Subway Extension project.
Since February 18, 2024, most routes using bus bays on the north side of Platform A have been reassigned to new bus bays on the east side of Platform B. Some routes have been reassigned to the south side of Platform A. Some routes will continue to use their current bus bays on the south side of Platform A.
A new drop-off only platform has been built immediately to the east of Transway Crescent, between Platforms A and B, closer to Platform A. All routes using Kennedy Station Platform B except Blue Night Network buses, are using this new drop-off only platform, which reduces the time needed for customers to transfer to Line 2 Bloor-Danforth and connecting bus routes at both platforms. This includes all routes that were extended to Kennedy Station in November 2023 as part of the Line 3 Bus Replacement Plan.
Blue Night Network routes will pick up and drop off customers at their designated bays on Platform B. These routes will not use the drop-off only platform.
Pavement markings and new traffic signals have been installed on Transway Crescent at the roadways exiting from Platform A and the new drop-off only platform to ensure customers can safely transfer between Platform A, Platform B and the Kennedy Station concourse.
Customers should cross only at these locations, following pedestrian safety signals and staying within the marked crosswalks and waiting areas.
