To deliver the new subway as quickly as possible, tunnelling will begin first, followed by a separate contract to build the stations, rail and systems.
The Yonge North Subway Extension will extend the TTC’s Line 1 subway service approximately 8km from the existing terminus at Finch Station into the City of Richmond Hill. Early work is under way, with Finch Station being upgraded to accommodate the future subway service.
