Ground broken on three Ontario Line stations

The Government of Ontario has broken ground on King-Bathurst, Queen-Spadina and Moss Park stations. 

 

Construction at the three sites includes work to remove soil and bedrock to create 30-40 metre deep stations with elevators and escalators that will connect the subways to the street. The work will also prepare for future tunnel boring machines to create the tunnels that will connect all the underground stations through the downtown segment of the Ontario Line.  

 

Once complete, the 15.6 km (9.7 mile) Ontario Line will have 15 stations and offer more than 40 connections to other transit services. The line is expected to reduce daily car trips by 28,000. 

 

'Getting shovels in the ground at these suture stations highlights the incredible progress our Government is making towards delivering the largest subway expansion in our country's history. Our planned transit-oriented communities will bring more jobs, housing and strengthen the character and liveliness of Toronto's downtown core,' said Ontario's Minister of Infrastructure Kinga Surma.
