King and Spadina Intersection Closed for Repairs After Downed Wires
The intersection of King Street and Spadina Avenue is closed for the rest of the week after a garbage truck with its loader raised damaged overhead wires on Tuesday morning.
Affected Streets:
- King Street is closed between Brant and Charlotte Streets.
- Spadina Avenue is shut down from Front to Adelaide Streets.
TTC Service Impact:
Streetcar routes 504 King, 508 Lake Shore, and 510 Spadina are diverted. Commuters can use Queen or Bathurst Streets for alternatives, and Wheel-Trans is available for door-to-door service.
Repair Efforts:
TTC engineers are working nonstop to assess and repair the damage, which involves complex rail and overhead systems. New wires will be installed and tested for safe operations.
Reopening Timeline:
The intersection is expected to reopen by Friday night, with crews working around the clock to potentially restore access sooner.
