The TTC is tearing up the rails of the city's shortest-lived rapid transit line just a year and a half after the untimely demise of the Line 3 Scarborough RT .The transit agency is now working in earnest to demolish the former SRT 's right of way so it can be repurposed into a new bus corridor to be known as the Line 3 Busway .
According to a recent TTC tweet, the process to prepare the lost line for its new future began in mid-September, when "contracted crews began the months-long process of removing the rail, signals, and concrete to make way for the construction of the new busway, which starts next Spring." Crews will continue to tear away stretches of track along this corridor spanning Eglinton Avenue East to Ellesmere Road, with the remainder of the busway using a transit-priority corridor to Scarborough Centre Station.
The elevated guideway travelling north out of Kennedy Station is not part of the plans for the busway, as vehicles will instead merge with the SRT corridor to the north via a new signalized connection to the Kennedy Station Bus Terminals.
