Yonge / Richmond construction: TTC detours, overnight, starting May 5



The TTC is advising passengers that, from 7 p.m. Monday, May 5 until 7 a.m. Tuesday, May 6 and continuing overnight nightly, it’s detouring streetcars along these routes:

  • 301 Queen overnight; and
  • 501 Queen.

The TTC explains that it’s detouring the cars “due to [City of] Toronto Water sewer repairs.” (The construction likely is on Yonge Street at its intersection with Richmond Street.)

Construction at Yonge / Richmond and the resulting TTC detours continue until May 9 (7 a.m.)

(Note that the TTC has posted two different notices about these detours — one announces the end of construction as 5 a.m. May 8 and the other as 7 a.m. May 9. We can only guess which one is correct.)
