Thanks to Transit Toronto reader David Fisher for alerting us to these detours.
This weekend — late Friday, November 20, all day Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22 and early Monday, November 23 — the TTC is detouring transit services during construction at Queen Street West and Dufferin Street.
(Construction crews are moving the railway bridges that cross the intersection, probably for the project to remove the “jog” on Dufferin at Queen.)
The TTC is detouring buses operating along the 29 Dufferin, 329 Dufferin overnight routes and streetcars operating along the 301 Queen overnight and 501 Queen routes. It is also operating shuttle buses to replace some of the regular bus and streetcar service.
