I can't wait for the day that this section of Danforth is fully reopened.

I can't wait for the day that this section of Danforth is fully reopened.

I think Danforth is meant to fully reopen before summer 2026, see these CLC slides:

After this, I believe the road lanes, north bike lane, and north sidewalk will be reopened. Then when the station is nearing completion (in who knows how many years) they will close parts of the road again to remove the decking.

In Vancouver, road deck removal is happening now at Arbutus station on the Broadway subway extension. They’ve made a real mess of it, 4 months of full road closure with poorly planned detours. I don’t think our road deck spans the full width of Pape so hopefully we don’t have the same level of disruption.

"Howdy, neighbour!
Right on the other side of this wall is TTC’s Pape Station. We recently exposed the existing Line 2 subway station structure, and we will continue to dig down to uncover the entire station. It’s a delicate operation, but with careful excavation around the active station and installing additional supports, we'll be able to get safely underneath it to build a new Ontario Line connection."
