The TTC has cancelled plans for a subway closure on Line 1, Yonge—University, during Victoria Day weekend.

Regular service is expected on Line 1 and Line 2 this weekend, the TTC said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Friday evening.

The closure was set to take place between St. Clair and Sheppard-Yonge stations on Saturday and Sunday for "station improvements, structural maintenance and track work," a TTC news release said on Thursday.

On Victoria Day, the TTC will operate on their Sunday schedule but will start earlier at 6 a.m.

The GO Transit will operate on a Saturday schedule on Monday.
