Starting 11 p.m. Friday, April 25, TTC crews are repairing the tracks
- on Gerrard Street East east of Ashdale Avenue.
The transit agency explains that “This work is part of TTC’s preventative maintenance program to ensure safe and reliable streetcar operations.”
It’s detouring streetcars along these routes, while the crews work on the tracks:
Shuttle buses replace the cars between Coxwell Avenue and Parliament Street.
Streetcar-track repairs and the resulting TTC detours continue until April 28 (4 a.m.)
TTC crews set up the work zone and start working by 11 p.m. Thursday, April 24. The transit agency says, “Around-the-clock work is required to preserve the integrity and quality of new rail and concrete.”
During this project, the crews:
- mill the old concrete;
- saw-cut the old concrete;
- break and remove the old concrete;
- replace the old rail with new rail; and
- place new concrete.
Expect noise.
The crews work only in the streetcar allowance (centre lane) on Gerrard Street East. The City of Toronto may temporarily prohibit on-street parking near the work zone. The work zone may also block motorists from turning left onto or off of Gerrard East.
