Overview
- Federal officials highlighted more than $4 billion in confirmed funding as major work began at Don Valley, Flemingdon Park, Thorncliffe Park and Cosburn stations, along with nearly three kilometres of elevated guideway rising up to 14 metres.
- Metrolinx now expects civil infrastructure to finish in the early 2030s, with the eventual service launch hinging on testing and systems integration.
- Parts of two tunnel boring machines have arrived near Exhibition, and tunnelling is slated to begin in the spring after launch-shaft preparations.
- Reporting places the Ontario Line’s total lifecycle and capital costs at more than $27 billion, and previously stated opening dates have been withdrawn.
- Metrolinx flagged three Don River bridge builds as “formidable,” saying Don Valley Parkway shutdowns are possible and will be managed to minimize traffic impacts.
