EGLINTON AVE. WEST CLOSURE

Closed due to MetroLinx Tunnel Boring Machine Move

Friday, April 17 to Monday April 20, 2015

Commencing at 9:00 p.m. on Friday April 17th and continuing until 5:00 a.m. on Monday April 20, 2015, Eglinton Ave. West will be closed in both directions from Bathurst St. to Marlee Ave. This is to facilitate the moving of the Tunnel Boring Machine (T.B.M.) from the west side of the subway tunnel to the east side. Given the location of the machinery most of this work will be conducted directly in front of Eglinton West Subway Station. As a result all routes entering Eglinton West Station will be required to divert (routings provided below). The actual moving of the T.B.M. will be conducted during non-operating hours of the subway.

There will be a requirement to provide supervisory \ mgmt personnel to manage station operationswith customer relations staff provided by an external agency.

Signage will be posted within the affected area and inside of Eglinton West Station advising customers of the transit changes for the identified dates, referring customers to board buses at “street” locations.

Additional vehicles will be scheduled to supplement the 32 Eglinton West Service as there is no alternative diversion routing. As a result, this route will operate in two distinct legs. Mt. Dennis Management will be responsible to determine which vehicles will operate on which “leg” or the route.

Provided below is additional information related to this project, and the associated requirements from various TTC depts.
