TTC Subway Closure

In addition to these road closures, this weekend will have a TTC subway closure. There will be no subway service between St. Clair and Lawrence stations on October 28 and 29 due to track work.

It's also important to note that trains on Line 1 will be bypassing Queen Station both ways starting at 11 p.m. each evening until late November due to fare gate construction.
