TTC Shuts Down 7km of Line 2 This Weekend—Plan Ahead
Kennedy to Woodbine stations closed May 23-24 for work. The entire east end faces weekend transit disruption.
The TTC's dropping a full weekend closure on the east end, cutting off rapid transit service for residents relying on Line 2 Bloor-Danforth from May 23 through 24.
The shutdown spans over seven kilometres of track between Kennedy and Woodbine stations—basically the entire east end's direct subway access vanishes for two days. This is the kind of closure that forces commuters to plan alternate routes, dust off transit apps, and maybe work from home if the option exists.
The transit agency has flagged this well in advance, which means shuttle buses and alternate service will be in place, but don't expect it to be seamless. Anyone with regular weekend plans in or through that corridor—work, shopping, visiting friends—needs to reconsider timing or routing now. The closure applies all day both Saturday and Sunday, so there's no off-peak workaround.
Check the TTC website for shuttle details when they drop, and maybe reconsider that Scarborough trip this weekend.
