The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is set to temporarily suspend subway service along a significant portion of Line 2 this weekend. This closure affects commuters in the east end, particularly between Victoria Park and Kennedy stations.
TTC Subway Closure Details
Service interruptions will begin at 11 p.m. on Friday, March 6, and extend through to Sunday, March 8, 2026. This decision is part of ongoing maintenance and track replacement work.
- Closure Dates: March 6 – March 8, 2026
- Affected Distance: Approximately 5 kilometers

- Warden Station: Closed during the duration of the maintenance

Impacts on Commuters
During this maintenance period, shuttle buses will replace subway service, causing potential delays and complications for passengers. This closure further complicates commuting for Scarborough residents, who have already faced several challenges related to public transport in recent months.
The disruptions come on the heels of a series of other transit challenges, including the abrupt shutdown of Line 3, ongoing construction for its replacement, and the long-awaited introduction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Such frequent service interruptions have become a common theme for residents relying on the transit system.
As the TTC implements these crucial updates, passengers are encouraged to plan their routes accordingly. Information regarding shuttle services and other transit changes will be available throughout the weekend, ensuring commuters can navigate these disruptions effectively.
