Starting Friday at 7 p.m., Front Street will be closed between Simcoe and John streets. The road will reopen Sunday at 7 a.m.
Drivers can use a number of alternatives, including King Street, Adelaide Street and Wellington Street.

On Sunday, Yonge Street is expected to be closed between Lawrence and Erskine avenues from 6 a.m. to prepare the formation area for the Toronto Yonge Street 10k Run. From 9 a.m., the closure will be extended down Yonge Street all the way to Richmond Street.

- Fleet Street's westbound lanes will be also shut down from Strachan Avenue to Fort York Boulevard from 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
A number of other streets will also be shut down along the route between 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. They include:
- Richmond Street from Yonge Street to Peter Street

Subway closures cancelled
While the TTC had previously planned to shut down a section of the University-Spadina subway line for repairs over the weekend, the commission said Friday the closures had been cancelled.
