Spadina-King Intersection Spadina Avenue and King Street Intersection Beginning August 6, 2013, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) will carry out major construction work at the intersection of Spadina Avenue and King Street West. This work is required to bring the street and track infrastructure to a state of good repair. A previous public notice was distributed on March 18, 2013. Latest Updates Construction Details Work will involve reconstruction of the TTC streetcar track, partial reconstruction of the roadway and sidewalk. Rail panels (on flatbed trucks) and other related equipment and material will be brought on-site and temporarily stored until rail installation begins. Intersection Closures August 6 to August 20, 2013: King/Spadina intersection will be fully closed to vehicle traffic in all directions. On-site signs will be posted to indicate detours. August 20 to August 31, 2013: One lane in each direction will be maintained and 2 lanes on Spadina (southbound only) will be maintained. Work Hours Work will generally run from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends. However, the TTC track reconstruction phase of this project will involve periods of overnight work and extended weekend hours. Overnight rail installation work by the TTC is required to support daytime construction and complete the project as quickly as possible. TTC work will consist of moving rail into position, rail installation and rail welding and grinding. In addition, near the end of the project, new trolley wire will be installed during nights from the intersection of Spadina and Adelaide to the intersection of King and Charlotte. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this construction work. Pedestrian Access A safety barricade fence will be placed around the intersection to provide a safe barrier between the work and pedestrians. Pedestrian access to businesses and walkways will be maintained on both sides of all roads during construction. The contractor will further notify businesses of any other temporary disruptions. Parking Restrictions Vehicle parking or standing in the active work zones will not be permitted. Vehicle access to the work limits (see map of work area, previous page) may not be possible due to space required for construction equipment and materials. Deliveries Deliveries to the front of businesses within the work zone may need to be coordinated with the on-site City inspector. Garbage Collection Follow your normal routine. If required, the contractor will move bins to an appropriate location and return them. Please label your bins with your address.
