The contract also includes utility work, road modifications along Eglinton Avenue West to accommodate construction, and changes at Mount Dennis Station that will help connect the extension to future Eglinton Crosstown LRT service.
The 9.2km Eglinton Crosstown West Extension consists of four major packages of work: Stations, Rail and Systems, the first advance tunnels contract from Renforth Drive to Scarlett Road; the second tunnel, from Jane Street to Mount Dennis Station; and the elevated guideway between Scarlett Road and Jane Street.
TBMs Rexy and Renny completed digging the twin 6.3km tunnels in April and June respectively. The tunnels are being constructed by WestEnd Connectors Construction, consisting of Dragados Canada Inc, Aecon Infrastructure Management Inc, and Ghella Canada Ltd.
