What’s Happening At Queen and Spadina?

By • Photos by Harry Choi

The intersection of Queen Street and Spadina Avenue has been shut down for a week while road crews replace the streetcar tracks there. If everything goes according to plan, the intersection will reopen next week, at 6 p.m. on July 23.

Streetcars and buses are diverting around the mess. It’s also completely impossible to drive through the area, so chances are that most commuters haven’t even seen the source of all the temporary chaos. Our photographer has been visiting the site on an (almost) daily basis. Here’s a gallery of photos of the intersection taken over the course of the past week. We’ll update it with today’s photos as soon as we have them.

    Cannot WAIT for this to be done. It impacts every single alternate route I can cycle through.

    I have to say that I actually enjoy this intersection being closed. I bike through it every day to get to work and the lack of cars and streetcars make this section of my Queen St. commute better than ever. If you know how to circumvent the mess through the nearby alleys, you will not be knocked off your schedule and you can enjoy Queen St. without the usual mess of cars.

    Nice they have a little shade-tent. Must be brutal work in this heat and the required pants, boots, hat, etc.
