Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

I'm just going by the time elapsed since we first saw photos of them digging up the road, compared to the (albeit shorter) Finch.

How Metrolinx hasn't learned the lesson that they actually have to have inspectors out there frequently, I don't know.

Construction got underway summer of 2019 six years ago.

It been stated by trades that the same problem ION LRT had during the building of it is still taking place on Hurontario today.

Is it me, or is this project just moving exceptionally slowly? It seems we've been seeing photos of uncomplete and not yet started sections for years! It didn't feel that way for Finch.

I drove the length of the stretch between steeles ave and the city centre loop area. I was shocked by how much of the section north of the 407 is nowhere close to finished or even installing of track.

They need to throw all the resources from the finch and eglinton lines at this once those two are open to get this to a testing state in the next 2 years

Oh it's not just you. I live right by Hurontario on Elm Drive, and trust me it is extremely slow.

Actually that is not quite. It's not so much that it's slow, as we go looooong periods of NOTHING happening. This summer very little work was done. All the work has been since Fall started. (I'm exaggerating a bit but the point is the summer was way too quiet).

And yet the similar length ION LRT started in summer 2014 and opened less than 5 years later in 2019. Trial running started in late 2017 and early 2018 after 3-4 years of construction.

Meanwhile on the somewhat shorter Finch West LRT started in 2019, opening about 6.5 years later. Track was completed by October 2023 - just over 4 years. Test running started in May 2022 for a short section of track, extending to the entire route by May 2024.

So Hurontario is running much slower - the earliest opening now is probably 2028 ... about 9 years. Much slower than the other mostly surface lines.

Hopefully the Hamilton LRT and the Line 10 extension to Brampton go smoother.

Just imagine there was some entity that people could work for that would provide them work for their entire life with good benefits and a good pension.
Ah the days of working for the city/town/region, etc. Now it is all contracted out, and look at the mess.

With Dundas station renamed to TMU, I wonder if the Dundas & Hurontario stop will be renamed just Dundas?

I shudder to think at what Metrolinx comes up as for stop names on the Hurontario line. Even to now the project site shows that stop names are subject to change. What are they going to call Eglinton?

I've occasionally seen the city refer to the Dundas and Hurontario intersection as Four Corners.

(EDIT: Cooksville-Dundas would probably work too if you wanted to differentiate it from Cooksville GO)

Brampton officials left in dark over completion date for Hurontario LRT, other major Metrolinx projects

Brampton elected officials and senior staffers say they haven’t been given new completion timelines for the first phase of the Hazel McCallion LRT line or a planned extension of the line into downtown Brampton.

www.bramptonguardian.com

Relevant extracts:

The most-recent update provided by Metrolinx in August indicated that work at 33 of the 55 intersections along the line had been completed along with eight of the 19 stations.

“It was great to see that on Hurontario close to Steeles you finally start seeing a lot of construction there and everything, and I just wanted an update on timelines in terms of has Metrolinx shared any further timelines on when they’ll complete the Hurontario route?” asked Medeiros.

The short answer Medeiros received was “no.”

“Metrolinx has been going through an exercise, a lot of commercial discussions with Mobilinx — the consortium that’s constructing the current LRT — (and) we know that they’re nearing the end of those commercial discussions and are kind of re-baselining the schedule,” Director of Transit Development Doug Rieger told council.

In addition to the first phase of the Hazel McCallion LRT already under construction, Medeiros also asked if the provincial government has provided any timeline estimates for the announced tunnelled LRT extension into downtown Brampton and the Queen Street bus rapid transit (BRT) line.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced in January that the province would fund Brampton’s long-sought-after downtown LRT extension, which will extend the Hazel McCallion Line to the Brampton Innovation GO District station with part of the extension running underground through a tunnel.

The Queen Street BRT line has been in the pre-construction phase for some time, but as with the downtown LRT extension, details on construction timelines have remained thin.

“We’ve got some indication from them, but nothing is out in the public yet. We’re hoping, and we’ve been asking for almost two years now for them to come and provide some updates to council on the various projects that they’ve got working in Brampton,” Rieger said.

“We’re hoping that they will be coming in Q1 of next year sometime to provide that update. It would be on the current construction. Hopefully, they’ll have some more timelines on when they’re kind of forecasting when the operation will be in place (and) the status of the LRT extension.”

“We know that they’re gearing up (and) we’ve had some internal discussions with staff now, so we know they’re gearing up (on the extension) and again hopefully will have some timelines as to how they’re progressing with that. As well as the Queen BRT project, which has kind of been on hiatus for the last year,” Rieger added.

Everyone is wasting their breath asking ML anything about any of their projects and a timeline let alone a date. We have seen this time after time on Line 5 and Line 6 as well other ones.

Nov 26
Rebar frames are being place in the guidewys on both side of the still close 407 bridge for the OS poles supports.

Dugging up the track east of the switches on Topflight still taking place with nothing taking place where the saw cutting took place. New traffic lights poles are almost ready to be install.

Small crew working on the crossover area.

Crew working on the trackwork for the pad area south of of Derry.

Skyway completely tarp and hard to say if the intersection will be open this weekend and a few days ahead of schedule.

Crew working on the trackwork for World Dr.

Trackwork in place for the 401 overpass but about 150' of trackwork still to be installed at the north end not exposed to the air over the 401. Will not be surprise to see concrete poured for it in the next two weeks.

Couldn't get a good look at the trackwork south of Sq One Dr to the station but crew working on the southbound track.

Looks like all the trackwork from Robert Speck to Burhamthorpe has been poured in place.

Trackwok taking place for the Burnhamthorpe station area along with rails being splice together. By mid December all the trackwork from Burhamthorpe to Central Pkwy will be poured in place.

Hillcrest intersection was seeing the base poured on Saturday and no work taking place today.

King St intersection is mostly dug out.

Trackwork taking place from the Queensway to the Fire Station temporary driveway and we may see concrte pour next week to anchor the track in place as well the new driveway for the Fire Station

We are seeing some work done now that was suppoed to be done by the end of 2024.

This is what I'm seeing here as well. Amico seems hard at work with utilities that should otherwise have been done long ago.

With the incoming snow, it makes me wonder just how much work they'll do.
