Road closures are once again coming to the King Street West and Shaw Street area, as construction for Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) track replacement and water main work, and once it’s set up, it will be there most of the year.

Beginning mid-February, King Street West will be down to a single lane in each direction between Dufferin Street and Shaw Street. This restriction will be here until mid-May.

It gets worse from there.

Between mid-May and October, King Street will be fully closed in sections starting at Dufferin Street, and slowly moving east towards Shaw Street.
