College Street and McCaul Street
Planned work
The City of Toronto and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) have completed track renewal work at the intersection of College Street and McCaul Street. The intersection reopened to regular traffic on November 7, 2025.
Crews are now focused on overhead infrastructure upgrades, which are currently underway and expected to continue through the end of the year. This work includes pole installations, a key component of the overhead work along with commissioning work. 506/306 Carlton streetcar service will resume once all work is complete.
