I'm really curious to see the staging plan here and how the main station structure is going to be built over the active GO station.

Same! I live real close so I'll be on top of it with very frequent updates including drone shots.

I'm hoping that the success *knock on wood* of building this station will lead to future infill stations being built on other surface lines for both GO and TTC

Maybe it'll be built to the north and they'll push it to the south over the tracks?
That's how the Liege Station in Belgium was built.

Long-term hoarding is being installed North of the portal site (between Hanna and Pirandello St).

Photos starting just east of King West Laneway heading westward to the foot of Pirandello St.

They need to update the GO Station map for the rest of the year since there is no streetcar service currently as well as the 63 running in both directions now.

Be lucky to see TTC streetcars south of the loop by 2030 at the rate things are going. Got to replace the Dufferin bridge first that is supposed to be schedule in 2027 if I am not mistaken.

I notice the north GO track is higher than the original corridor today

The new tunnel extension is haft the width of the existing one and will be a bitch for events at the EX to to get to/from, let alone during the EX.

Lot more photos up on my site.

The new tunnel extension is haft the width of the existing one and will be a bitch for events at the EX to to get to/from, let alone during the EX.

Where do you see that it's half the width? I've seen through the door and it looks to be the same as the current section open now.
Either way, the point of the pedestrian bridge, which is open any day/week now, is to relieve overcrowding in the tunnel.

My update from the weekend:

Got a big ol' pile of dirt on the old 2 Atlantic site.

Hole has been excavated near the bottom of Pardee Ave (West of Atlantic) so they can tunnel under the tracks for utility relocation from 2 Atlantic site. More info via OL's IG post at bottom of post.

A piling rig has been at work South of the tracks where the tunnel will end (immediately North of the Gardiner).
