Starting at 7 a.m. on Monday, April 14, the City of Toronto will partially close the intersection of St. Clair Avenue West and Lansdowne Avenue and the nearby Earlscourt Loop until about May 30. Closing the intersection will allow City and TTC crews to rebuild the streetcar tracks along St. Clair and through the loop as part of the St. Clair West transit improvement project.
The TTC will detour all three branches of the 47 Lansdowne route during this phase of the project.
47 branch:
Southbound buses, which usually start and end their trips at the Earlscourt Loop, will instead start their trips at Davenport Road and Lansdowne Avenue, proceeding along their regular route from Davenport.
Northbound buses will operate along their regular route to Lansdowne Avenue and Dupont Street, then detour:
westward along Dupont;
northward along Symington Avenue; and then
eastward along Davenport Road to Lansdowne.
47B and 47C branches (to and from Yorkdale Station):
Southbound buses operate along their regular route to Caledonia Road and St. Clair Avenue West, then detour:
southward along Caledonia Park Road; and then
eastward along Davenport Road to Lansdowne Avenue,
resuming their regular route southward along Lansdowne.Northbound buses reverse this routing.
You can see a map of the detour here.
