The TTC has substantially completed the first phase of sewer and hydro relocation work along Bloor Street East.
This was the first phase of work done to prepare for the modernization of Bloor-Yonge subway station. The planned station renovation will include the expansion of Line 1 northbound and southbound platforms, a new second platform to enhance capacity for eastbound passengers on Line 2, platform reconfiguration to enhance capacity for westbound passengers, a new barrier-free entrance to the south side of Bloor Street East, and modification of the existing main entrance.
The procurement process for the Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvements Progressive Design Build contract is advancing well, and the Request for Proposals (RFP) closed on Thursday, October 3, 2024. The vendor proposals will now be evaluated, and the contract awarded at a TTC Board meeting in early 2025. Once on-board, the contractor will work collaboratively with the TTC to develop the design, as well as establish an implementation schedule for future construction. This phase is expected to last for approximately two years.
No impacts to subway service or access to Bloor-Yonge Station are expected during the remainder of preparatory construction works.
