Late-night subway closures
Meanwhile, sections of the TTC's Bloor-Danforth subway line will be hit by intermittent closures for several weeks because of track repairs.
During repairs that will last until November, a specific section of track will close each night at midnight for rail grinding.
Subway service will be replaced by frequent shuttle buses between stations and/or accessible bus service along the affected portion of the subway line, the TTC said.
During repairs, regular subway service will resume the following morning.
