The TTC is closing the 2 Bloor - Danforth subway line between Keele and St George stations this weekend, Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25.

All trains along the line operate between Kipling and Keele stations and between Kennedy and St George stations only.

Frequent buses replace subway trains between Keele and St George stations. The TTC says the buses “stop at all stations” between Keele and St George — likely in the bus terminals at Keele and St George Stations and on Bloor Street West near Dundas West, Lansdowne, Dufferin, Ossington, Christie, Bathurst and Spadina Stations. All stations are open so that passengers can buy tickets, tokens and passes or connect with buses and streetcars.

For passengers needing a station with an elevator, Wheel-Trans buses operate between Jane and St George stations, on request, stopping at all stations. You can ask for the Wheel-Trans bus by speaking with a supervisor at the station. While this section of the line is closed, crews are replacing track switches near Ossington and Christie stations.

According to the TTC news release announcing the subway closure, “Maintaining subway infrastructure in a state-of-good-repair is critical to ensuring a safe, reliable transit system. While the TTC does much of its maintenance work on the subway at the conclusion of service each night, it will continue to require weekend closures to complete improvements to infrastructure and signals, such as automatic train control. One weekend of work during a subway closure equals about five weeks of nightly work.”

Regular subway service resumes 6 a.m., Monday, October 26.

The TTC is closing this section of the subway three more weekends this year:

• Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8;
• Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22; and
• Saturday, December 5 and Sunday, December 6.
