Last week, TTC crews made emergency track repairs at Queen Street East and Coxwell Avenue. During that work, staff identified more rail conditions at the intersection that they must repair.
From Sunday, July 17 until Thursday, July 21, track staff will conduct preventative welding maintenance overnight from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. each night, when traffic volumes are low. Expect noise while they’re operating equipment.
Vehicle traffic continues through the intersection although crews may temporarily block some lanes and restrict turns through the work zone.
The TTC is detouring streetcars operating along these routes east of Connaught Avenue after midnight:
Shuttle buses replace the cars, operating east from Leslie Street.
501 Queen
301 Queen overnight
From 12:01 until 6 a.m. Sunday, July 17 and continuing overnight nightly until 6 a.m. Thursday, July 21, all cars start and end their trips in Russell Carhouse at Connaught Avenue west of Coxwell Avenue.
