Issued on: Construction Notice August 7, 2019 Urgent concrete repairs and rail maintenance King Street West at Shaw, Walnut and Stanley Terrace Timeline: August 10 to 12, 2019 *Content / timeline accurate at time of printing What we are doing and why On Saturday, August 10, TTC track crews will begin urgent and essential work to repair sections of broken rail and concrete on King Street West at Shaw Street, Walnut Avenue and Stanley Terrace. Streetcars are currently operating at a reduced speed through the King and Shaw intersection for safety until the repairs are completed. All work activities will be contained within the track area and will include minor breaking and removal of concrete to expose the rail, replacing existing rail with new rail, and placement of new concrete. Note: Based on the location of the work areas, King streetcars and Ossington buses will be diverted for the weekend. Traffic and pedestrian restrictions Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction through the work zones until completion. The location and length of the work zone may prohibit left turns and street parking on King Street. The lane restrictions and work zone will be cleared on Monday morning around 5 a.m. after the newly placed concrete has cured adequately for road traffic. Work hours and timeline Work of this nature is required around-the-clock to ensure timely resumption of transit service and quality placement of concrete. On Saturday morning around 3 a.m., crews will begin setting up the three work zones on King Street West with barrels and barricades. At approximately 7 a.m., localized saw-cutting will begin followed by excavation and concrete chipping. Concrete excavation and removal will be conducted until 10 p.m. Other minor work activities not involving excavation will continue overnight after 10 p.m. Concrete will be placed in the track areas and set to cure overnight. The newly placed concrete requires curing time before the work zones are removed for the resumption of full road use on Monday at 5 a.m. TTC service – 3 a.m. August 10 to 5 a.m. August 12 During this urgent work, service diversions are required. 504A King streetcars (Dundas West Station to Distillery Loop) will divert both ways via Queen Street between Spadina Avenue and Roncesvalles Avenue. 504B King streetcars (Broadview Station to Dufferin Gate Loop) will divert both ways via Queen Street between Spadina Avenue and Dufferin Street. 504/304 King buses will replace streetcars between Dundas West Station and Spadina Avenue, looping back at University Avenue. 63 Ossington buses will not operate on Shaw Street and will divert both ways via Strachan Avenue between Queen Street and King Street.
