We’re digging in — literally! 👷‍♀️🚧 Crews have started borehole drilling at Walmsley Brook — a small stream in the Don Valley. These boreholes will give engineers key insights into ground conditions to help design the Ontario Line’s elevated guideways.

Two of the Ontario Line's first tunnel boring machines are all packed up and ready to set sail for Ontario! Follow along here to be part of the journey.

February was a big month underground! From lowering specialized, heavy-duty equipment into the shaft to making headway on station cavern excavation, progress is moving full steam ahead. Stay tuned for more updates as we carve out the tunnel for the future Queen-Spadina station.

🤔 How do we know where to dig subway tunnels and foundations for major structures? It all starts with borehole drilling! The borehole drill cuts through layers of earth, digging up samples that engineers use to study the conditions beneath the surface. 🚧

A window into the future: Gerrard Station. This Ontario Line station will provide easy transfers to both streetcar and bus routes for 2,000 riders during the rush hour.

🥶It's freezing in Toronto, but our concrete is warm and cozy. 🥰The orange tarps pictured here at Corktown are used to insulate recently-poured concrete to prevent freezing during the curing stage. These tarps also help prevent cracking due to rapid temperature drops!

❄️ We’re not letting winter slow Ontario Line progress! We’ve installed a tent around the slurry production plant and water treatment facility at Pape and Danforth to winterize the site so we can continue working on this critical transit project year-round.

🚧 Clamshell bucket in action! Watch as this aptly named piece of machinery excavates the surface to prepare for a slurry (or support) wall panel at Pape and Danforth.

🎉 The pedestrian bridge at Exhibition GO is now officially open! The bridge helps keep people moving during Ontario Line construction, providing additional access to the train platforms and for trips to and from Liberty Village: metrolinx.com/en/news/pedest…

Piling continues at our downtown sites to build the foundation for future Ontario Line stations. Pictured is Corktown, where a new station will put subway service within a 10-min. walk for more than 26,400 residents and connect to popular surface routes. shorturl.at/8pUWm

🚇 By giving Line 2 riders another way to get downtown, the Ontario Line is expected to reduce crowding at Bloor-Yonge Station by 22% during rush hour. Learn more: metrolinx.com/en/news/ground… 2/2

Celebrating the end of Rexy and Renny’s journey! 🥳🚇 To our neighbours and friends: Thank you for dropping by! Our salute🫡 just wouldn’t have been the same on this stunning, sunny Saturday without your company. 🙌☀️ We can’t wait to welcome you back soon! 🥰

When the new Ontario Line connection at Osgoode Station opens, one of its entrances will feature a familiar Queen Street building. Watch to see how the process went and learn more about the project here: bit.ly/3Lk6QO1

Check out this cool behind-the-scenes footage of crews preparing to build a new Ontario Line station at King and Bathurst. Once built, the King and Bathurst station will put subway service minutes away from 27,000 people in the community. Learn more here: bit.ly/4eGZgug

Metrolinx is starting its next round of consultations for the Sheppard Subway (Line 4) Extensions in Toronto. A "mixed-grade subway", with tunnelled + elevated portions being considered. 4 distinct options for routing. More here: metrolinx.com/en/projects-an…

The first pile is in at the future Ontario Line subway station at Queen! The new station, which will be built below the existing TTC station, is expected to be the busiest connection point along the line. One down, 600 to go!
