The TTC is advising passengers that, from 11 p.m. Sunday, December 22 until 4 a.m. Monday, December 23, it’s detouring streetcars along several routes “due to [streetcar] infrastructure repairs” on King Street East.
It’s detouring streetcars along these routes:
Shuttle buses replace streetcars on King streets east and west between Sumach Street and Spadina Avenue.
^ Note that the TTC has presented two options for detouring streetcars along routes 303 and 503. In this post, we use the detour to and from Distillery Loop for route 503 cars and the detour to and from Spadina Avenue for route 303 cars.
^ Map of the path for shuttle buses.
The TTC hasn’t identified the precise location where crews are repairing the infrastructure. However, based on the detours that the TTC is using, we suspect that the crews are working between Parliament and Church streets.
