Scarborough subway preliminary work:
GO, TTC detours, September 15 to 18



Scarborough subway logo2.pngTTC contractors continue geotechnical drilling and general surveying in various locations to prepare for the future extension of Line 2 (Bloor - Danforth) to Scarborough Centre.

They started working to determine the underground conditions along the future subway corridor last October to determine the exact location of surface and underground infrastructure.

This weekend, the crews work on Triton Road west of McCowan Road — the site of the future Scarborough Centre Station and bus terminal — blocking the usual route for TTC and GO Transit buses entering and exiting the current station and terminal.

From 11 p.m. Friday, September 8 until 4 a.m. Monday, September 11, the TTC is detouring buses operating along these routes:

  • 9 Bellamy;
  • 16 McCowan;
  • 38 Highland Creek;
  • 129 McCowan North;
  • 130 Middlefield;
  • 131 Nugget;
  • 132 Milner;
  • 133 Neilson;
  • 134 Progress;
  • 169 Huntingwood; and
  • 199 Finch rocket.
