Affected Routes:
Routes 4, 17, 20, 36, 91, 95 & 104
Overview:
The East London Link is a multi-year project that will revitalize more than 6 km of road from Downtown to Fanshawe College. The project will add transportation and transit improvements above ground, while repairing and replacing aging sewers, watermains and other underground infrastructure.
Effective March 17, 2025, work will commence along Oxford between Highbury and Second. The work is scheduled to be completed in stages with a scheduled project completion date of late November 2025.
With the staged approach to the construction, there will be changes to service impacts as the project progresses through the stages.
Stages 1 & 2 will be centered around the on-road construction and will remain outside of the terminal on Oxford between Second and Roehampton. Stage 3 will be construction on the new terminal and Stage 4 will be construction on the current terminal. Stages 5 & 6 are located west of Roehampton.
