On Thursday November, 30th at the public session of the Metrolinx Board of Directors meeting, Phil Verster, CEO shared details around the status and progress of the Eglington Crosstown LRT project.

 “We will announce an opening date for the Eglinton Crosstown three months before opening day.  We are not there yet.”

“We are making sure everything is built right and operates correctly and safely. Our contractor, CTS, is finding issues that must be fixed before we can open the Eglinton Crosstown for safe and reliable passenger services.” he continued.

“We will host journalists in early December at the Eglinton and Yonge station, the largest and most complex station on the ECLRT, and where the final pieces of construction are now nearing completion. It will be a walk-through with first-hand visibility and Q&A about the five work streams that will fix the uncertainties and get us to opening day.”

We will keep you updated on the opening of this new line when we hear more info.
