Due to ongoing construction, traffic moves westbound only between Bay Street and Lower Spadina. The fall will see additional construction and closures on surrounding roadways. To arrive by TTC, take the 509 bus (Harbourfront) westbound on Queens Quay through the construction. Eastbound buses will be diverted via Lakeshore Blvd. By car from Lake Shore Boulevard, take Lower Simcoe Street directly south to the gallery.
