The $5.5 billion project was initially slated to be completed in 2020, but its opening has now been pushed back multiple times.
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.
Metrolinx has since acknowledged that Crosslinx Transit Solutions – the construction consortium it hired to build the line – “have fallen behind schedule” once againThe Toronto Sun also reported on Thursday that the line won’t be operational until 2024 at the earliest, attributing that information to government sources.
A judge eventually sided with the consortium and the two sides renegotiated an agreement, which would have seen the line substantially completed by this past fall. “We cannot start with the training of the TTC operators until the system is fully complete and ready and up to now the completion of the site and surface testing is only about 50 per cent of what we expected it to be,” he said.
