Metrolinx shares aerial images of Ontario Line construction

Metrolinx has released a series of drone images to update the public on progress being made on the north end of the Ontario line, Toronto's new subway line that is under construction. 

“Across Toronto’s northeast, the Ontario Line is becoming more visible every day as foundations give way to bridges, guideways and station structures,” Metrolinx officials said in a press release. “Over the coming months, residents will begin to see even more of the future subway line emerge above ground as construction continues across the area.”

The drone images showcase progress on the Ontario Line construction, including the following:

• Foundation and support structures for the Don Valley bridge crossing
• Piers to support the elevated guideway at Thorncliffe Park Station
• Excavation of the site of the operations, maintenance and storage facility
• Road excavation and construction of a track retaining wall at the Beth Nealson underpass
• Bridge piers at the West Don Crossing
• Guideway piles for Flemingdon Park Station
• Basement piling and station wall for Don Valley Station

The Ontario Line is a planned 10-mile subway, elevated and at-grade rail line running between Exhibition Place in Toronto, through downtown to the Eglinton Crosstown light-rail line at Don Mills Road. The new line will have dozens of connections to other transit services, including light rail and regional heavy rail networks.
