According to Metrolinx, construction-related activities and equipment on the roadway will be removed by the end of April 2023, with the exception of Cedarvale Station (Allen Road interchange) and the section between Avenue Road and Yonge Street, which are anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2023.

Kinda disappointed they kept those weird metal ceilings
In a few years they’ll all be rusty and falling out of place and the ttc will never fix them

Some new construction update photos. That ramp is likely the bit north of Eglinton connecting to the Rio-Can building

Sneak peek at the unpaid portions of the station that will connect to the north side TTC entrance in the future.
First picture = red circle in the map below; Orange tarp is covering the future escalators leading down to the Line 5 upper concourse. I'm surprised by how narrow the pathway is and how thick this column on the left is. But note there'll still be walkway space further to the left.
Second picture = green circle in the map below. This is the future pedestrian underpass crossing Yonge St (this is where the big hole has been for the last year)

Looks like the ceiling of some of Toronto's subway stations. Looks ready for service to me.

The public art is GREAT! Source.
Background from the Crosstown website:
Eglinton Station: Rodney LaTourelle with Louise Witthöft
Born in 1965, Canadian artist Rodney LaTourelle is known for large-scale colour installations, public artworks and architectural interventions explore the interplay of colour and physical space in an immersive viewing experience. Recent solo exhibitions include Optica (Montreal), Mendel Art Gallery (Saskatoon) and Diaz Contemporary (Toronto). His works have been collected by The National Gallery of Canada and the Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (Luxembourg).
Light from Within, the artwork for Eglinton station, is inspired by the prismatic and reflective qualities of minerals, crystals and gemstones, emphasizing the subterranean nature of rapid transit and the depth of this station. The artwork is a large panel made of dichroic and mirrored glass tiles that are lit from front and back, suspended in a double-height space. This artwork creates a reflective backdrop and brings light deep into the station, offering a wondrous and unexpected element for passengers.

Interesting use of the Toronto standard of 50 shades of grey.
