Get ready for loads of TTC subway closures this fall

Winter is coming and so are a ton of weekend TTC closures. That means you should get ready to take a shuttle bus - or the heel-toe-express - if you're running around town because it looks likes there are going to be closures for six weeks in a row, starting on the weekend of October 7.

The fun starts this weekend (Sept. 24 and 25) when the Yonge Line will shut down between Bloor and Osgoode stations. Luckily, it's supposed to be mild and sunny, so take a stroll and enjoy the fleeting warm weather.

The closures are put in effect so the TTC can complete much needed track repair work as well as the installation of a new signalling system that will allow it to run trains more closely.

Here are all the TTC subway closures slated for the rest of 2016:
