The construction consortium responsible for building the Eglinton Crosstown has yet to deliver a “credible schedule” for the completion of the project and there is still no timeline for when it will be up and running, Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney says.
The $5.5 billion project was initially slated to be completed in 2021 but its opening has now been pushed back multiple times.
Work on the Eglinton Crosstown was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as work stoppages and some ensuing supply chain issues resulted in a myriad of delays. Metrolinx President and CEO Phil Verster told reporters on Thursday that Crosslinx has since “fallen well short of its own targets of delivery,” under the new schedule, specifically when it comes to the testing of the system.
