TTC riders are asked to keep in mind that there will be no service on Line 1 (Yonge-University) this weekend between Davisville and Lawrence stations and there will be nightly closures on Line 1 (Yonge-University) between Spadina and King Stations.
Here are the details:
Saturday and Sunday TTC subway closures

Wheel Trans
Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance.
While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the conclusion of service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.
Reduced speed zones
The TTC is advising customers travelling on several portions of Line 1 Yonge-University and Line 2 Bloor-Danforth of reduced speed zones, which may result in longer-than-usual travel times along certain sections of the subway.
As a safety precaution, the TTC implements reduced speed zones along sections of rail where maintenance is required, allowing trains to run safely during service hours while minimizing disruptions to customers. They also protect workers who may be required at track level to conduct routine or emergency inspections.
Plan ahead
Customers are encouraged to plan ahead and consider the additional time they may need for their trips. A complete list of current reduced speed zones can be found on the TTC website at: https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service/Reduced-Speed-Zones
The TTC is committed to keeping customers informed about work and events that impact service, as well as alternate route options. For the most up-to-date information, follow @TTCNotices on X or sign up for eAlerts.
