University Avenue Construction: Plan Ahead for Your Visit

Starting Monday, September 24, 2026, the City of Toronto will begin watermain replacement and road work on the east side of University Avenue between Armoury and College streets. University Avenue will be reduced to one northbound lane throughout construction. This is a City of Toronto infrastructure project and is not related to UHN construction activities.

Emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times.
