Update — Friday, February 17, 8:06 a.m.: Exhibition Loop reopens 5 a.m. Saturday, February 18, 2017.
The TTC has diverted services from Exhibition Loop since January 3, 2016. While the loop has been closed, TTC and Metrolinx contractors have been upgrading the tracks in the loop and improving nearby Exhibition GO Station.
The TTC has been further detouring buses and streetcars since Tuesday, September 27, 2016, due to the large number of events taking place in Exhibition Place last fall and early this winter.

Starting Friday, January 20, it’s resuming buses through Exhibition Place, although the loop remains closed for the ongoing construction projects.
