Two different stretches of TTC subway will shut down for this entire weekend

TTC subway closures this weekend could throw a wrench in your commute.

The transit agency is planning overlapping closures on both the Line 1 Yonge-University and Line 2 Bloor-Danforth on the weekend of April 5-6, 2025, affecting six stations and almost seven kilometres of combined track.

Here's everything you need to know about this weekend's planned subway outages.

Line 1

Subway service will be halted between Sheppard West and Lawrence West stations on Saturday, April 5, and Sunday, April 6, to accommodate track work along this over-4-kilometre stretch of track.

Shuttle buses will cover the gap in service covering Lawrence West, Yorkdale, Wilson, and Sheppard West stations, all of which will remain open for riders to purchase fares and connect with surface routes.

Service along this stretch will resume Monday, April 7, in time for the morning rush at approximately 6 a.m.

Line 2

The planned Line 1 outage overlaps with another disruption that will impact Line 2 riders starting on Friday night.

At 11 p.m. on Friday, April 4, until Sunday, April 6, the roughly 2.7-kilometre stretch from Warden to Kennedy stations will be closed to allow planned expansion work at the latter transit hub.

Shuttle buses will cover the one-station gap in service, while both stations will remain open for surface connections and fare purchases.

This portion of the transit network is also expected to resume service on Monday, April 7, at roughly 6 a.m.

Closures seemingly every weekend

These are just the latest overlapping closures in what is becoming the year of the subway outage for the TTC.

The transit agency announced earlier in the year that a mind-blowing 38 outages that will last full weekends were scheduled for 2025, including several instances where multiple outages overlap, for a final tally of 28 weekends with planned subway disruptions this year.
