Final pieces of trackwork being installed at Eglinton Station for Metrolinx's Crosstown LRT project

Metrolinx's Eglinton Crosstown light-rail transit (LRT) project is moving along, with the final pieces of trackwork for the project now being installed.

Installation of the overhead catenary system, train signals, communications systems and other features to enable safe train movement will continue into 2022. By the end of the year, rail will run continuously from the maintenance and storage facility, located on the site of the former Kodak lands, to Kennedy Station.

Meanwhile, other progress on structural work is now complete on a retaining wall just east of Brentcliffe Road. Crews are installing the geogrid and planting new greenery.

And along the surface-level section of the Crosstown LRT, restoration work continues on the streetscape, including tree planting and the ongoing installation of green track-beds, which will cover 60 percent of the area between Brentcliffe and Ionview.
