The TTC is closing Line 1 Yonge - University subway between Lawrence and St Clair stations earlier than usually Monday, March 20 until Thursday, March 23. Line 1 subway trains operate only between Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and St Clair stations and between Finch and Lawrence stations after 11 p.m. those days.
Frequent shuttle buses partly replace the trains, stopping in subway station bus terminals or on the street near each station of the closed section of the line.
(Or, consider a shuttle-bus alternative.)
While this section of Line 1 is closed, Metrolinx contractors continue working on the Eglinton Crosstown light rail transit line — the TTC’s future Line 5 Eglinton.
All stations remain open so you can pay fares or connect with TTC buses and streetcars.
Since Lawrence Station is not yet an accessible station, if you’re travelling southbound along Line 1 and need an accessible connection, exit the train at York Mills Station and ask a TTC customer service employee for help or directions.
According to a TTC news release, “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… signal upgrades.”
The TTC is closing this section of Line 1 once more during March:
- Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26 — York Mills to Bloor — all day — signal upgrades.
