Planned track work will shutter service between Victoria Park and Kennedy stations on Nov. 14 and 15.
The TTC will shut down a five-kilometre stretch of the Line 2 Bloor-Danforth subway for the entire weekend of Saturday, Nov. 14, and Sunday, Nov. 15, according to BlogTO. The closure is attributed to planned track work and will affect the easternmost stations, specifically Victoria Park, Warden, and Kennedy.
While Victoria Park and Kennedy stations will stay open for surface route connections and fare reloading, BlogTO reports that Warden Station will be closed completely for the duration of the outage. The TTC plans to deploy shuttle buses to replace subway service on the affected stretch, with normal operations expected to resume by 6 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 16.
This outage follows broader criticisms of the agency's maintenance scheduling. As reported by BlogTO, the TTC's 2026 Annual Network Plan highlighted rider feedback calling for improved coordination to reduce construction impacts. Specifically, riders expressed concerns regarding the reliability of replacement buses amidst traffic congestion and the failure of backup travel plans when multiple closures occur simultaneously. The 2026 report noted that participants urged the TTC to better coordinate with the City regarding service changes and the bundling of construction projects.
