With the reduced scope of track work planned at Broadview Station, there has been a change in the schedule of road closures. The City of Toronto issued a Construction Notice on June 9 stating that the sequence of events would now be:

• July 4 to Early August: Track replacement from Gerrard to Sparkhall, plus the reconstruction of Montcrest Boulevard.
• Mid August to Late September: Track replacement from Danforth to Sparkhall
  • The intersection of Danforth and Broadview will be done after the Taste of the Danforth event.
• Late August/September: Track replacement on Broadview north of Danforth and on Erindale (this is the on-street portion of Broadview Station Loop).
• Early October to Late November: Resurfacing of Broadview from Danforth to Gerrard.

The TTC’s construction project list shows streetcar service resuming in February 2024, but this might be out of date as there is no reason to delay this unless the project meets with unexpected problems. In any event, they hope to restore the 504/505 bus service on Broadview when conditions permit, and that would likely not be until after the track work is finished and there is enough space to fit buses onto the street.

Broadview will remain open to northbound traffic only from Gerrard with a single lane during the project. Local traffic will be allowed southbound until the street is blocked by construction in mid-July.

Here are photos of track welding on June 17, 2023. Rails are delivered by truck and joined into strings by a mobile arc welding unit. They will be pulled into place when after the trackbed has been excavated to expose the top of the steel ties installed here on the previous renewal. Thermite welds will be used to join the strings of rail when they are in place.
