Work on the station bus roadway

What we are doing and why?

On April 1, 2024, the bus roadway at Sheppard-Yonge Station was closed for construction. The TTC is making essential upgrades at Sheppard-Yonge Station to improve bus roadways and pedestrian areas. Construction includes rehabilitating sections of the bus loop and customer platforms, as well as building underground duct banks along Harlandale Avenue. Due to site conditions, the TTC expects all work to be completed by summer 2025.

Subway and bus service is maintained throughout the project.

What to expect

• Major construction activities include excavating and removing the existing bus roadway, renewing catch basins and maintenance covers, and placing new concrete.
• Bus boarding locations are currently temporarily relocated to Sheppard Avenue West. 
• The bus terminal and the rest of the station remains open for customer use.
• Work is being carried out in phases to maintain a pedestrian walkway between the bus terminal and Sheppard Avenue West.
• Noise, dust, and vibration associated with construction can be expected with this work. Efforts will be made to keep levels to a minimum.

Work hours

• The majority of work activities are taking place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily from Monday to Friday.
• Some overnight activity may be required for safety such as work zone set up and teardown of fencing and construction hoarding.
