TTC Bus Rerouting at Eglinton Station: Late March to Late Summer 2020

See link.

What Work is Taking Place?

In late March 2020, the bus loop at Eglinton West Station, located at Allen Road and Eglinton Avenue, will be closed for approximately five (5) months while crews construct a roof for the future Cedarvale LRT Station. During the closure, the 32D Eglinton West bus will extend to Eglinton Station.

To accommodate the additional 32D buses, the 51 Leslie and 56 Leaside buses must enter Eglinton Station from the Berwick Avenue entrance. 51 Leslie and 56 Leaside buses will travel westbound on Eglinton Avenue, south on Duplex Avenue, east on Berwick Avenue, and turn left into the bus terminal. Speed bumps on Duplex and Berwick Avenues must be modified to allow TTC buses to travel safely along the route. Once the Eglinton West Station bus loop re-opens in September 2020, the 51 Leslie and 56 Leaside buses will resume their normal route into Eglinton Station.

I found it strange that they are installing the bracket supports on the poles at the east end considering Victoria to Warden had tracks installed long before this area. This area only has a small amount of rail installed compare to the west.

Kennedy intersection will be back fill and rebuilt in the spring along with new sidewalks and road on Eglinton where the portal is.

Have posted under Kennedy station thread of the photos I shot on Feb 8.The roof of the concourse is really thick and must be for the power sub station that will be built on top of it. Odd seeing the footing for a tower crane in the floor of the tunnel waiting to be pour.

The Kodak building is developing nicely.

I was surprised to see that as well this weekend. I am just glad the work is getting done. Kennedy and Eglinton is busy at the best of times.

You slide into that one easily.

Well, I’m the emulsional type.

( OK, I will stop now )

Despite that, it doesn't stop the fact the line will inevitably get delayed thanks to the central section. I'd be very surprised if the line opened on time.

Perhaps it will open in 2035?

It teases the completion of Mount Dennis station. Would be nice to visit it for Doors Open.

Isn't it really strange they are placing rubber pads bolted onto concrete blocks on surface tracks? It seems pretty clear that they aren't going to pour concrete on top.

Looks like a possible green track installation or even just leave it as-is so cars don't drive on it into the tunnel.

Isn't it really strange they are placing rubber pads bolted onto concrete blocks on surface tracks? It seems pretty clear that they aren't going to pour concrete on top.

The construction method that they are using on the surface sections is very similar to RETRAC as used on the legacy network in a lot of regards, but there are also some clear differences.

But one thing that they are doing that is the same as RETRAC is encapsulating the rail in rubber wherever it is being surrounded by concrete to provide for insulation and dampening. The section between Victoria Park and Pharmacy is like this, and I believe is earmarked to be one of the green ROW sections.

Looks like a possible green track installation or even just leave it as-is so cars don't drive on it into the tunnel.

Most of the alignment will keep the rail fully exposed to allow for easy replacement of the rail and fasteners when the time comes. It also greatly simplifies the installation and maintenance of switches and specialwork.
