TBM tracker updates!

It's like the end of the movie "The Social Network" where Zuckerberg hits "refresh" over and over again.

LOL. Try Congee Star near on Don Mills just north of Eglinton. Probably best to go before Eglinton & Leslie is half shut down due to TBM launch shaft construction, if that hasn't happened already.
Posting from other thread... On that note, it still hasn't as far as I know. I last drove by there on the weekend.
Still kinda peeved that there will be no south-side alignment for that section of the Crosstown. I'm not buying the arguments that a new bridge would be needed, there is so much space there. All that we would lose is a few trees.

They said they would start soon, maybe they're getting ready to start. When it does happen, it seems like Laird->Overlea might be the best way to go around as a driver. Lawrence is disconnected in the north due to Bridle Path.

Almost 2 weeks since your update and its sitting in the same place. Isn't the tracker real time?

Can't wait until the map shows that the TMBs hit Allen Road

The tracker is not real time. It updates itself once ever week or fortnight.

The tracker has been updated at Eglinton West showing that work has begun there for the tunnels and station.

Hmm are we waiting for the snow to clear up before launching the Don and River TBMs?

Not sure if this is trolling or not but no. The launch shaft hasn't been built yet. They will launch in 2015 IIRC.

Nope, just completely ignorant of the process...
So to be clear, the lanes on Eglinton will be closed down in order to build the launch shaft, sometime in the coming weeks? It takes over a year to built a launch shaft?
