The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is an approximately
9.2-kilometre extension of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT (future
Line 5), from Mount Dennis to Renforth Drive. Metrolinx is
actively collaborating with the GTAA and municipal partners
on the proposed alignment from Renforth Drive to the airport.
Tunnelling is one of the first phases of work for the project. The
project is being delivered in four separate contracts: Advance
Tunnelling DBF; Second Advance Tunnelling DBF; Elevated
Guideway DB; and Stations and Remaining Work.
