The TTC and Metrolinx are working together to rehabilitate the TTC’s Exhibition Loop and the eastbound platform at GO Transit’s Exhibition GO Station.
During phase 1 of this project, starting Monday, January 4, contractors:
- rehabilitated concrete on both TTC and GO properties;
- replaced the retaining wall with a new barrier wall that separates the two properties; and
- replaced streetcar tracks on the north side of the loop.
(The retaining wall is about 100 years old.)
During phase 2 of this project, starting 1 a.m. Tuesday, September 6, contractors are:
- rebuilding track and drainage on the south side of the loop, including the tracks leading to Strachan Avenue;
- replacing seven underground electrical splice chambers; and
- returning tracks, drainage and electrical underground infrastructure to a state of good repair.
While the loop is closed, the TTC is detouring service along these streetcar and bus routes:
Shuttle buses replace streetcar service along Fleet Street, operating between Exhibition Place and Bathurst Street.
The TTC intends to reopen the loop to buses by Saturday, November 19 and complete all work by Saturday, December 17.
Note that the map still refers to route “310” overnight service. The TTC recently renumbered the route to “307”.
