Commuters travelling to and from the downtown core may be delayed this weekend as marathons and repairs take over the city.

The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon returns Sunday bringing with it a number of major road closures, and, at the same time, transit construction is shutting down parts of Line 1 this weekend.

Here’s our list of everything you need to know to get around this weekend.

Transit:

  • There will be no subway service on Line 1 between Lawrence and St. Clair stations Saturday and Sunday.
