## Resource

Metrolinx is set to ramp up construction at Yonge and Queen starting August 4, 2026, for the Ontario Line subway station — bringing three months of watermain work and more rolling lane restrictions that could stretch into November. With Yonge already a traffic nightmare, drivers brace for even more chaos. The intersection has been closed since May 2023 and won’t reopen until late 2027 or early 2028, while the Queen streetcar remains rerouted. The Ontario Line, once slated for 2031, now targets an “early 2030s” launch, adding 15 new stops and turning Queen Station into a major transit hub to ease pressure at Bloor-Yonge and St. George. More delays, more disruption — but a vital upgrade in the works. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
