The TTC is closing Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway between Keele and St George stations Saturday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1. Line 2 subway trains operate only between Kipling and Keele stations and between Kennedy and St George stations after 11:59 p.m. those days.

Shuttle buses partially replace subway service. The buses drop off or pick up passengers on Bloor Street West at stops near each station on the closed section of the line. TTC staff are available in each station to direct you to the shuttle-bus boarding and offloading locations.

(Or, consider a shuttle-bus alternative.)

Most stations on this section of Line 2 remain open, so you can pay fares, load PRESTO fare cards, buy PRESTO tickets and connect to TTC buses, streetcars and Line 1 Yonge - University subway trains. However, Lansdowne and Christie stations are closed.

Note, also, that the TTC is closing passenger access points at some stations Saturday and Sunday:

• at Dufferin Station — the Russett Avenue entrance / exit.
• at Ossington Station — the Delaware Avenue entrance / exit;
• at Bathurst Station — the Markham Street entrance / exit; and
• at Spadina Station — the Spadina Road and Walmer Road “automated” entrances / exits.

Although shuttle buses are accessible, Wheel-Trans service is also available. Speak to any TTC staff member for directions or help to locate Wheel-Trans stops at or near each station.

While this section of Line 2 is closed, TTC crews are maintaining the tracks.

According to a TTC news release, “While the TTC does most subway maintenance after service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.”

The TTC is closing this section of Line 2 at least once more during the next few weeks:

• Monday, March 2 until Friday, March 6 — Keele to St George — close early — track work.

In a news release, the TTC is advising passengers that it’s temporarily replacing streetcars with buses along the 310 Spadina overnight and 510 Spadina routes. It’s operating buses while crews replace damaged underground power cables that supply electricity to the overhead streetcar wires on the Spadina Avenue corridor.

According to the release, shuttle buses are operating between Spadina Station and Queens Quay West, serving curbside stops to maintain service for passengers and extra staff are available at Spadina and Union stations and “the Queens Quay transfer point” to help you find your way or to transfer to other transit vehicles. The TTC says that it has added extra streetcar service along the waterfront between Union Station and Queens Quay. (By “the Queens Quay transfer point,” the TTC likely means Spadina / Queens Quay Loop.)

TTC staff identified the damage after a cable chamber fire yesterday, Monday, February 23 afternoon. To repair the damage, crews must replace 640 metres of underground electrical cables, extending between Queen and Adelaide streets west through multiple cable chambers under Spadina Avenue. Due to the location of the infrastructure, the work is complex and crews must work in confined underground spaces, the TTC explains, “requiring careful co-ordination, safety controls, and staged access to multiple chambers.”

Contractors and TTC staff are replacing the cables. They started working overnight February 23 and are continuing “around the clock.” The TTC expects to complete repairs “by the end of the week, though bus replacement service will remain in place until all testing is complete and the infrastructure is confirmed safe for streetcar operations.”

Although the news release states that buses replace streetcars between Spadina Station and Queens Quay West, this service advisory indicates that buses operate along the entire routes.

Shuttle buses partially replace subway service. The buses drop off or pick up passengers at stops near each station on the closed section of the line. TTC staff are available in each to station to direct you to the shuttle-bus boarding and offloading locations.

The TTC is closing this section of Line 2 at least once more during the next few weeks:

• Monday, March 2 until Friday, March 6 — Keele to St George — close early — track work.

• parts of Queen Street East between Broadview and Davies avenues

to accommodate a project to replace two 112-year-old water mains. The City and the TTC are also renewing the aging streetcar tracks on the same part of Queen East.

The City explains that, “This work is required to bring the water-main and track infrastructure to a state of good repair and is part of the Council-approved 2025 Capital Works Program.”

The City has now completed work to replace the water-main. Monday, February 23, the City and TTC start to replace the streetcar infrastructure on this section of Queen East. The City is closing the westbound lanes to all traffic to accommodate this phase of the project.

Streetcars along these routes continue to follow their current detour paths:

• 301 Queen overnight;
• 304 King overnight;
• 301 Queen; and
• 504B King.

Starting February 23, the TTC revises the paths for buses that replace streetcar service:

• Shuttle buses along route 504D that replace route 504B “daytime” service between Broadview Station and Parliament Street;
• Shuttle buses along route 301C that replace route 301 overnight service between Broadview Avenue and Parliament Street and route 304 overnight service between Broadview Station and Parliament Street.
• Buses along route 503 Kingston Rd that continue to replace route 503 streetcars. These buses along rout 503 partially replace route 501 streetcar service between Broadview Avenue and Parliament Street.

The City and TTC expect to complete the project “by April 2026”, meaning as late as until April 30.

Phase 1 - October 2025 until February 2026 (complete)

• Crews replaced the water main that extends under Queen Street East and Munro Street.
• At least one travel lane in each direction was available through the work zone on Queen Street East.

Phase 2 - late February until April 2026

• Crews are installing streetcar tracks on Queen Street East. TTC crews will then test the newly constructed track.
• One eastbound lane will be available through the work zone.

Crews worked to upgrade the water main from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., Mondays to Fridays, with occasional late or weekend work, when necessary. They work to replace TTC tracks 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

During streetcar-track construction, they excavate and break concrete throughout the day, but they mainly mill and break concrete milling from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. Concrete breaking work is the most disruptive and will typically last the first one to two days for each phase of construction. The TTC says that, “Around-the-clock work during rail installation by TTC is required to preserve the integrity and quality of new rail and concrete. Overnight rail work by TTC may consist of moving new rail into position, rail installation and rail welding/grinding.”

The TTC is closing all of Line 4 Sheppard — between Don Mills and Sheppard - Yonge stations — this Sunday, February 22.

Update — Thursday, February 12, 9:05 a.m.: Starting 9 a.m. February 12, the City is expanding the work zone, requiring the TTC to revise the detour path for buses along the 47 Lansdowne route. It’s also introducing a new detour for buses along the 18 Caledonia route that day. Construction continues until March 13.

Since January, a City of Toronto contractor has been installing new storm sewers

• on Eglinton Avenue West between Gilbert and Ronald avenues.

The new storm-sewer system will collect, store and move storm-water (rain and melted snow) from the Fairbank - Silverthorn area to Black Creek. This project is part of a City program to help reduce the risk of future basement flooding. Once complete, the new storm-sewer system will help to reduce the impact of heavy rainfall and sewer back-ups for homes in the area.

The contractor is working in block-by-block segments to avoid long-term road restrictions.

Starting 5 a.m. Monday, February 9, the work zone blocks parts of

• the intersection of Eglinton Avenue West with Caledonia Road.

It restricts northbound traffic along Caledonia from turning left onto westbound Eglinton West.

The TTC is detouring buses along this route, while part of the intersection is closed:

• 47 Lansdowne.

^ Map of the detour path for buses along the 47 Lansdowne route from 5 a.m. Monday, February 9 until 9 a.m. Thursday, February 12.

^ (Updated — Sunday, February 22, 4:29 p.m.): Map of the detour path for buses along the 47 Lansdowne route from 9 a.m. Thursday, February 12 until 5 p.m. Friday, March 13 5 a.m. Monday, February 23.

^ Map of the detour path for buses along the 18 Caledonia route from 9 a.m. Thursday, February 12 until 5 p.m. Friday, March 13.

(*Updated — Thursday, February 12, 9:05 a.m.) Construction at Eglinton West / Caledonia and the resulting TTC detour continues until February 28.

(Updated — Sunday, February 22, 4:29 p.m.): This phase of construction at Eglinton West / Caledonia and the resulting TTC detour continue until February 28 until March 13 until March 14.

Crews are:

• excavating the road and digging a trench to access and install the new sewers;
• replacing City-owned water service pipes that do not meet City standards from the sewer and water mains to private-property lines; and
• restoring all work areas with asphalt, concrete or grass when they’ve finished working underground.

The City of Toronto and the Government of Canada are protecting against basement flooding in the Fairbank - Silverthorn community. The project improves infrastructure in three important ways:

• installing new local storm sewers;
• building a large storm trunk sewer (main tunnel); and
• installing inlet-control devices (ICDs) to manage storm-water flow to catch basins.

When the project is complete, the new infrastructure will help to reduce sewer back-ups and basement flooding for more than 4,645 homes and provide flood protection to a 140-hectare area.

The project is part of the Basement Flooding Protection Program, which Toronto City Council approved in 2021. The Government of Canada has committed $73.2 million for this project through the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund, a Canada-wide program to support large-scale infrastructure projects and help communities better manage the risks of disasters resulting from natural hazards. The City is providing the remaining funding of $250 million.

Work to stabilize service and complete essential repairs is now complete. Regular weekend service will resume tomorrow. We sincerely apologize for the significant disruptions you’ve experienced over the past two weeks. We understand how inconvenient and frustrating this period has been, and we appreciate the patience you’ve shown.

Our network was affected by several major events, including severe weather, a derailment in the Union Station Rail Corridor, and mechanical issues on the Lakeshore lines earlier this week. These issues caused delays across the system, and we recognize the impact on your travel. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strengthen both our operational response and our communication during major service interruptions.
