Please note that starting late evening July 4 and into Monday evening July 7, the TTC will begin delivering new streetcar rail panels to the site overnight, between 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., to support the ongoing streetcar track renewal construction at the King/Church.
In addition, to support TTC crews, two TTC crew site trailers, a generator, and portable washrooms will be delivered to the work site around July 7, 2025. This equipment will be placed on the north curb lane of King Street East, west of Jarvis Street, outside of the current fenced construction area. This means that from July 7 to 14, 2025, there will only be eastbound access on King Street East from Oak Hall Lane to Jarvis Street. For more information on the King/Church intersection construction project and impacted TTC routes, please visit the project webpage: ttc.ca/KingChurch
