Look at all that space! We bring the LRT to grade and then raise Eglinton West over the LRT and then a second deck on top for a 401 bypass!

Corridor closure coming up in two weeks (Fri Nov 8 – Mon Nov 11) for track installation and relocation. There’s a good chance we see trains on this new bridge thereafter.
Edit: didn’t see the construction notice already shared in the main OL thread.

On the project page for this station it says this view is looking west. Is that correct? If so, that large blue building next to the corridor will be demolished?

This is facing East. The caption for the photo says "Future Ontario Line station entrance and plaza at southeast corner of Queen Street East and Strange Street (Riverside-Leslieville)." Strange street is on the West side of the tracks.

That makes sense, weird than when you hover over the pic with curser and say looking west when it should say looking east

I don’t believe that there is an Eastern Ave specific discussion board but am thinking the outcome of the new Queen st bridge will be similar in terms of both style and the near doubling of “sidewalk” space underneath. This pic was taken at the new Eastern bridge today and you can see the old bridge /sidewalk space in the background…. What a difference! It’s sooooo much better/bigger and less dingy and creepy

Thanks again Kotsy, always get excited when I see you have posted pics of the OL project! My pleasure! Progress is happening so fast, making me more and more interested. I'm also getting a lot of exercise from biking to different stations. ❤️

Holy smokes the trains are running along the east side (over the new bridges) already. Thai winter and spring is gonna be a tough one for De Grassi Street and Wardell St residents but the good news is the eastern side progressed quite well - just over a year from start to operational (still incomplete pending landscaping and final touches at street) at Queen Street anyway. Excited to have this progress and hope Mx and the city can coordinate a Jimmie Simpson and Mcleary park refresh along the new walls in the spring which will see those parks get slightly larger… the new tracks also seem quieter for when the trains are rolling past which is also great!
