Starting today, Tuesday, October 2, the City and TTC began to reconstruct the streetcar tracks inside the Exhibition Loop. The City and TTC will also be reconstructing the tracks in the intersection of Fleet and Strachan Avenue from October 5 to October 9.

The TTC will further divert transit services during this phase of the ongoing project to reconstruct the tracks along Fleet Street.

The construction affects these routes: 316 Ossington (overnight), 310 Bathurst (overnight), 509 Harbourfront, 511 Bathurst (daytime).

511 Bathurst (daytime): Streetcars continue to detour around the Fleet Street construction project. Southbound cars operate along their regular route to Bathurst and Fleet Streets, then continue southward along Bathurst, eastward along Queens Quay West and then northward through the Bay Street tunnel to Union Station. Northbound cars reverse this routing.

310 Bathurst (overnight): Southbound buses operate along their current detour to Lake Shore Boulevard West and Strachan Avenue, then detour northwards along Strachan Avenue, westwards along Princes’ Boulevard, north- and westward along Nunavut Drive, northward along Nova Scotia Avenue and then eastward along Manitoba to a stop at the Exhibition East Loop. Northbound buses begin their routes on Manitoba Drive beside the Exhibition Loop (not inside the Loop as usual), then proceed eastward along Manitoba, and then southward along Strachan Avenue, resuming their current detour at Lake Shore and Strachan.

509 Harbourfront: Buses currently replace streetcars on this route. Eastbound buses will begin their routes on Manitoba Drive beside the Exhibition Loop (not inside the Loop as usual), then proceed eastward along Manitoba, southward along Strachan Avenue, eastward along Lake Shore Boulevard East, southward along Bathurst Street and eastward along Queens Quay West, then north and west into the Spadina / Queens Quay Loop. Westbound buses will operate from the Spadina / Queens Quay Loop, southward along Lower Spadina Avenue, westward along Queens Quay, northward along Bathurst, westward along Lake Shore, northward along Strachan, westward along Princes’ Boulevard, north- and westward along Nunavut Drive, northward along Nova Scotia Avenue and then eastward along Manitoba to a stop at the Exhibition East Loop.

316 Ossington (overnight): Southbound buses will operate along their regular route to King Street West and Shaw Street, then proceed eastward along King, southward along Bathurst Street and then westward along Lake Shore Boulevard West to Canada Drive. Northbound buses will begin at Lake Shore and Canada then proceed northward along Canada, eastward along Princes’ Boulevard, southward along Strachan Avenue, eastward along Lake Shore, northward along Bathurst, westward along King, southward along Strachan, westward along Douro Street and then northward along Shaw, resuming their regular route at Shaw and King.
