The TTC is closing Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway between Kennedy and Woodbine stations after 11 p.m. Friday, September 27 and all day Saturday, September 28 and Sunday, September 29. Line 2 trains operate only between Victoria Park and Kipling stations during those times
Shuttle buses partially replace subway service, stopping in the terminals of all three stations on the closed section of Line 2.
(Or, consider a shuttle-bus alternative.)
While this part of the subway line is closed, TTC crews are working at track level. Specifically, the crews are replacing a switch near Warden Station and preparing for future work to install automatic train control signals on Line 2.
Warden Station is not accessible. If you’re travelling westbound to Warden and require an elevator, speak to any TTC employee in Kennedy Station for directions or help. If you’re travelling eastbound and require accessible service, exit the train at Victoria Park Station and ask for directions or help. The TTC is assigning extra Wheel Trans vehicles to operate between Kennedy and Victoria Park stations.
According to a TTC [news release]https://www.ttc.ca/news/2024/September/Upcoming-subway-closures-and-service-adjustments), “While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the conclusion of service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.”
The TTC is closing this section of Line 1 at least twice during late September and early October:
- Monday, September 30 until Friday, October 4 — Kennedy to Victoria Park — close early —track work.
- Monday, October 7 until Thursday, October 10 — Kennedy to Victoria Park — close early — track work.
Shuttle bus alternatives
One way that you can reduce the impact of the closure is by planning ahead, leaving earlier than usually and giving yourself more time to get to where you’re going.
Although shuttle buses replacing subway service will be frequent, they may also be crowded.
Regular TTC buses provide less frequent, less direct, but, perhaps, less stressful alternatives.
- Board buses along the 8 Broadview route to travel between Warden and Broadview stations.
- Board buses along the 20 Cliffside or 113 Danforth routes to travel between Kennedy and Main Street stations.
- Board buses along the 135 Gerrard route to travel between Warden and Main Street stations.
