There are many diversions coming up in the Fall for streetcar routes. Information on these appears in various places on the TTC site, mainly but not exclusively under Service Advisories. As an aid to riders, this article consolidates the available information in one place.
Updated November 28, 2025
***** This article is only for archival purposes. It has been replaced by a new one picking up from mid-November 2025. *****
Major events pending and in progress include:
- Construction on Queen between Davies (just east of the Don Bridge) and Broadview.
- Reconstruction of the intersection of College and McCaul, and of overhead in the vicinity.
- Reconstruction of track and overhead at and near Parliament and Carlton.
Other short term diversions will last only overnight or for a weekend.
Many of these are complicated by the ongoing Ontario Line work at Queen & Yonge forcing some diversions to be more complex than they might be otherwise.
This article will be updated when changes are announced.
- November 21: The 501 diversion via Broadview, Dundas and Parliament around water main and track work west of Broadview will begin on November 22.
- November 20: Equipment and material mobilization is underway on Queen west of Broadview.
- November 17: The 506 diversion has been changed today to avoid the intersection of Church & Dundas where construction blocks the northeast corner. Maps have been added from the TTC’s site.
- Effective November 16: The 503 Kingston Road bus will be cut back from Dufferin, and will now loop at York Street via Richmond and University.
- November 15: Diversions announced for two projects on 506 Carlton at Parliament & Carlton, and on Gerrard east of Broadview.
- November 9: King & Dufferin reopened for streetcar service. 503, 504, 508 will operate via their normal routes.
- October 30: King & Dufferin reopens for general traffic and buses. Streetcars to return following track testing.
- October 20: Water main reconstruction on Queen west of Broadview has been delayed until early November. 501 Queen streetcars will continue to operate on Queen Street until further notice.
- October 13: 504 King is operating with streetcars today over its full route except for the King/Dufferin diversion.
- October 9: Maps for 504 King and 506 Carlton diversions added.
- October 8: Construction at Queen & Broadview will not start on October 12, and so some diversions will not be required immediately. Information for 501 Queen and 503 Kingston Road has been updated.
- October 5: Nuit Blanch & Run For the Cure info moved to the archive section.
- October 1: Diversions of 505/305 Dundas and 506/306 Carlton for Nuit Blance and for the Run For The Cure added for October 3/4/5.
- September 23: The King/Dufferin start date has been changed to Sunday, September 28.
- September 12: King/Dufferin start date pushed back to September 29 or later. The project will now extend to mid-November.
- September 9: College/McCaul and Queen East details added.
- August 26: King/Dufferin Project
- The start date for this project has been changed to mid-September with the exact date to be confirmed. Although new schedules will be in place providing for diversions, service will continue to operate through on King Street until construction actually begins. This likely means that the project will extend further into October than the originally planned Thanksgiving weekend end date. The delay also means that the Tiff diversions will end before the King/Dufferin diversions begin.
- Branch lettering for 504 King A/B corrected.
- August 25: King/Dufferin Project
- Information about Kingston Road night service added.
- 304 King and 329 Dufferin confirmed to be diverted on the same routes as the 504A and 29 daytime services.
