Afraid that is not quite correct. While the work at the Queen and Spadina intersection may only require weekend lane closures, the work at King and Bathurst will be more disruptive. Scaffolding is to be erected along the west and north sides of the Banknote Building, in particular closing one northbound lane of Bathurst. Communications have been that the lane closure is expected to be long term, and will leave northbound traffic on Bathurst with two lanes. The centre lane has the street car stop, and outside of rush hours, currently allows left turns onto westbound King Street. There will also be one lane left on the east side of the streetcar platform - to accommodate both through traffic northbound on Bathurst Street as well as vehicles turning right onto King Street eastbound. Unfortunately, right turning vehicles are frequently impeded by the often heavy pedestrian traffic across the intersection.
Once the lane closure on the east side of Bathurst south of King Street takes place (which should be soon), there will not be a single clear lane for northbound through traffic at the intersection of Bathurst and King Streets.
