They will most likely have to close off one or both of two eastbound on-ramps to set up for the excavation and room for the cranes to operate.

What’s Metrolinx going to gaslight is into thinking when they cannot hide the massive scene this will be?

My guess would be that Strabag is waiting on parts from Europe (possibly a new cutter head assembly). They will most likely have to close off one or both of two eastbound on-ramps to set up for the excavation and room for the cranes to operate.

I find it hard to believe that the problem has lasted for so long and they didn’t order new parts earlier.

Strabag sucks.

Poor soil is a poor excuse to do nothing for 2 years

That's a cake walk for an org that gaslit us about the opening of two massive transit lines for years. Definitely one of Metrolinx's top skills.

With the snow melting, I just now discovered that they ripped out the entire RT rail line from the ramp leading to the former Kennedy RT station all the way to Lawrence West. Have they gone beyond that too?

What’s the plan for RT portion of the station. I hope they just don’t seal it off….maybe another level for busses (ie. Wilson?)

They did that back in November 2024. Past that they’ve left it for now, deciding what to do still / they don’t technically own the whole corridor. Kennedy to Ellesmere will be the BusWay.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't rebuild Kennedy to eliminate the RT platform given how much work they've done on the bus bays and for the extension

Demolition is probably very disruptive and very expensive.

I don't think demolishing the RT platforms at this stage would have any tangible benefit...

Back when the TBM was operating, were the dump trucks and delivery trucks coming from the mccowan entrance or the Sheppard entrance ?
