Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25, the TTC is closing Line 1 Yonge - University subway between Sheppard - Yonge and College stations. Line 2 trains operate between Finch and Sheppard - Yonge stations and between Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and College stations those days.
Shuttle buses partially replace subway trains. The buses drop off or pick up passengers in subway station terminals or on the street near all stations on the closed section of Line 1. Although shuttle buses are accessible, the TTC is also operating two Wheel-Trans vehicles between Sheppard - Yonge and College for passengers needed extra help in getting around.
Or, consider a shuttle-bus alternative.)
Most stations on this section of Line 1 remain open, so you can load PRESTO fare cards, buy PRESTO tickets and connect to TTC buses, streetcars and line 2 Bloor - Danforth and Line 4 Sheppard subway trains or to GO Transit buses. However, Lawrence and Summerhill stations are closed.
Since the bus terminal at Lawrence Station is closed, board connecting buses at temporary stops on Lawrence Avenue West, instead of in the station bus terminal:
- westbound at Lorindale Avenue (one block west of Yonge Street); and
- eastbound at Yonge Street.
While this section of Line 1 is closed, TTC crews are replacing a major track switch at York Mills Station, making essential rail repairs and completing geotechnical survey work along the line.
The TTC also likely continues working on the Easier Access elevator project at Lawrence Station.
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 1 twice more during May:
- Monday, May 26 until Friday, May 30 — Sheppard - Yonge to College — close early — track work.
