Girders are now installed for the 2nd half of the bridge over Dundas St.

The interesting detail in those shots is that the most recent base of the bridge that has been assembled is actually the westmost piece - you can see the slots that the top arch pieces will fit into. So, at this point, the bridge is being built from the west end towards the part that is already built. Hopefully the twain will meet in a good way.

I wonder if that piece will be shifted to the west?
The peak of the bridge is between the two temporary gray supports, and that end piece seems to be sitting too close to the middle. Could also be a camera foreshortening effect.

I admit I thought the building at Sammon was just an emergency exit. This is massive!

Any indication when the bus bays at Pape station reopen? Is that what July 2026 implies?

Likewise. I wasn't expecting it to the be this big. A shame they couldn't have integrated the old KFC into a small takeout location!

Is this rendering missing the faregates? I hope so or else I'm not sure why they made this loop for seemingly no reason when they could have just put the escalators in front

Maybe i am spoiled with how shallow and easy to get to platform level the C&C stations are...

I find it interesting that they are keeping a bus terminal at Pape. I wonder what bus routes will run there after the Ontario Line opens.

Probably some version of the south branch of 72. And let's face it, the OL is going to go out of service now and then, as will the Danforth line. Massive bus substitutions are going to happen.

Based on that premise alone, I actually think the proposed bus terminal at Pape is too small.

Especially considering the fact of what happened over at Broadview Station, which was supposed to be expanded until the idiot local city councillor stepped in and blocked it to protect her precious Green P parking spots.

Faregates would be at street level.
If the doors in the background connect to the bus terminal or the Line 2 subway,
then they probably have it so people from that direction can see the escalator to the OL platform for wayfinding.

Ford government hid decision to lower Canadian content requirement for new trains: emails

Metrolinx learned about Cancon exemption years after decision was made, internal notes say

www.baytoday.ca

So apparently the CanCon requirement was reduced for OL & GO, while having been increased for L2. Whatever gets them built quicker I guess.

Do we still use that Russian oligarch owned company for the tunnel boring?
