Broadview Avenue "borehole drilling": TTC detours, September 12, 13



The TTC is advising passengers that it is detouring streetcars off part of Broadview Avenue due to “borehole drilling” blocking the tracks from 2 a.m. Saturday, September 12 until 5 a.m. Sunday, September 13.

The drilling likely results from early surveying for a future City of Toronto / TTC project to replace the tracks and water-main on Broadview between Danforth Avenue and Gerrard Street East — in 2021.

The TTC is detouring streetcars along these routes, while crews block the tracks:

Shuttle buses replace route 304 / 504B cars between Broadview Station and Broadview Avenue / Dundas Street East.
