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.
