This weekend, Saturday, October 12 and Sunday, October 13, the TTC is closing part of Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway between Kennedy and Victoria Park stations. All Line 2 trains operate only between Victoria Park and Kipling stations this weekend.
The TTC is closing Line 2 Bloor - Danforth subway between Kennedy and Victoria Park stations earlier than usually Saturday, October 12 and Sunday, October 13. Line 2 trains operate only between Victoria Park and Kipling stations after 11 p.m. this weeekend.
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 maintaining the tracks.
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, “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 four more times during October and early November:
- Monday, October 21 until Friday, October 25 — Kennedy to Victoria Park — close early — track work.
- Saturday, October 26 and Sunday, October 27 — Kennedy to Victoria Park — track work.
- Monday, October 28 until Thursday, October 31 — Kennedy to Victoria Park — close early — track work.
- Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3 — Kennedy to Victoria Park — 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.
