Major Road and TTC Closures Coming to Toronto This Weekend

Toronto has some warm weather in store this weekend, which means people will want to get out and about, but with a number of road and TTC closures happening, you'll definitely want to plan ahead.

From August 6 to 7, the City will be carrying out a number of construction projects, leading to closures on major roads like Lake Shore Boulevard and King Street West. And with more work on the upcoming Eglinton Crosstown LRT set to take place, the city's transit system will be affected, including a partial closure of the Line 1 subway.

The City of Toronto is advising anyone who needs to drive in the general vicinity of the road closures to stay alert, consider alternate routes, and allow extra time to get to their destination.
