St. Clair has more than just overhead work going on. Lots of other projects being worked on concurrently. The biggest probably being the rehabilitation of St. Clair West station. https://stevemunro.ca/2023/08/28/512-st-clair-converts-to-bus-operation-until-summer-2024/

Ahh. Didn't realize there were plans to develop industrial lands around the Airport. With the corresponding increase in truck traffic, it might not be a bad idea to twin sooner rather than later. I'll be floored if the designs are changed to roundabouts in the next few rounds of public...

I travel this section semi-regularly on weekend mornings and it seems to flow just fine, but does the traffic volume on weekdays already warrant the twinning? I never thought I would see this one moved up so quickly though. I guess it would be a pretty straight forward project since all the...

I'm reliably told that the TBM is stuck and in need of some very time consuming repairs.

@smallspy I had heard that they chose to grind the rails at the surface intersections instead of ripping everything up. How this fares for the long term longevity of the rail itself remains to be seen.

This might be a bit cryptic. I noticed on the Metrolinx TBM tracker site (https://maps.metrolinx.com/arcgis/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=cfb19fbab99a4cc381ddfb533998cc5f) that the Scarborough TBM disappeared about a week or 2 ago. Could be nothing. Could be something.

Not to mention that Wicksteed is also an over height truck detour route for the CP bridge over Millwood.

Looking at the 511 cameras this morning, it looks like the EB express lanes from Winston Churchill to Credit River have officially opened as of this morning. I guess this means all 4 new carriageways are now officially open. However, the HOV lanes on all the new works still appear to be blocked off.

I love that you unintentionally wrote James slow, Paul. Fairly accurate description of the area past that point... I typically travel eastbound through here on weekends from Guelph Line in the late afternoon. It is getting so bad with traffic, that I will go across Campbellville Rd, James Snow...

If the current express/collector setup in Mississauga is any indication, it'll be the cars hogging the left lane doing 95-105... From what I see with the new express/collector setup heading westbound past the 407, all the trucks still seem unaware of the split despite signage indicating the...

Just an update on the Carlton/Church closure provided by the City:

Surprise surprise, Toronto Hydro strikes again... The work at the intersection of Carlton/Church is delayed. Here is the reply I received from the city: I've been watching the progress on one of the city's traffic cameras. Take note of the giant wooden board. That is where the shallow hydro...

There is a small section of Hwy 6 from the 403 to just south of Hamilton Airport that the MTO had added centre line rumble strips a number of years ago. Aside from that stretch, I am not aware of any other provincial highways that have them. I agree that there should be more of them...

Thanks for the detailed replies @smallspy and @duffo . It's good to know that these new capabilities are baked into the line, and also on the TYSSE. But the bigger question will be if the TTC sees fit to operate Line 5 that way. It will hopefully create a paradigm shift in their attitude to...

A question for anyone in the know about the signalling system. Perhaps @smallspy would know this. With ATC/ATO being in the tunneled section, presumably the line will be capable of single track operation, and/or bi-directional running if there had to be a track closure for maintenance or for...
