Wilson Station Rehabilitation on Allen Road - Construction Commencement
Key Update
The planned temporary closure of the on-ramp to Highway 401 (eastbound and westbound) from Allen Road southbound and a single-lane reduction on Allen Road southbound is expected to begin as early as the night of April 14 (between April 14 at 6 p.m. and April 15 at 9:30 a.m.)*.
What is Happening and Why
Constructed in the mid-1960s (and last modified in 1976), the Wilson Station’s mezzanine bridge and bus underpass, which are part of the Allen Road infrastructure, are deteriorating. TTC is undertaking a vital state-of-good repair project to rehabilitate these two structures. Completing the work will ensure TTC maintains the long-term safety of the bridge and our transit operations and avoids significant long-term risks/costs from deferred maintenance.
What to Expect:
- Temporary closure of the on-ramp to Highway 401 from Allen Road southbound for approximately 60 days from April 15. Alternative access to Highway 401 via Dufferin Street, Keele Street, Wilson Avenue, Yonge Street, and Yorkdale Road (no trucks).
- Single lane reductions on Allen Road northbound and southbound for approximately 200 days intermittently from April 14 to October 2025; there may be concurrent work southbound and northbound.
- Expect traffic delays in the construction area.
- Some noise, vibration, and dust are expected.
- No impact on TTC service due to this construction.
