The real surprise here is seeing Kennedy in a somewhat complete looking state.

Not really if you've been to it in the last few months most of what has been being worked on is the second go train platform, most of everything else aside from the actual connections to the existing station are done at this point.

Eglinton LRT construction team lacks believable plan for completion: Metrolinx
Confidential documents have revealed Metrolinx, the provincial agency responsible for Toronto’s Eglinton Crosstown light rail transit (LRT) project, says the construction consortium behind the project, Crosslinx Transit Solutions, lacks a reliable plan to finish the subway line.
Not sure if this was posted already here... truly disappointing news.

From the second photo,
I like the clean layout of the next arrival display. Hopefully one day we will get those on GO platforms.
Now they better fix those exit signs. They are flipped.

the tweet appears to have been deleted ”for job security reasons” - hope throwing these up here doesn’t cause any drama for the picture taker

I drove the line from Mount Dennis to Science Centre late last week to see if it was worth video updates but mostly the sites looked similar to what I have shown before on the channel. Eglinton's station head is more complete now but the road is still temporarily covered. The stations are not miles away (except Eglinton) and some look almost ready to open. The shots of Kennedy inside are encouraging from a completion perspective. The one huge thing that I noticed was how appalllingly bad the condition of Eglinton Avenue road is along the line to about Mount Pleasant. Will need complete resurfacing soon between stations. Might be part of project completion.
It would certainly be interesting to know how long they can hold this up without opening it. I have a bad feeling that something is very wrong at Eglinton and they cannot figure out a solution without tearing up much of what they have built. I hope not though. The silence is deafening.

Anything outside the stations has no impact on the line opening date. Road work is one of the last thing to be done that only effect surface traffic. If there is sidewalks work around the station once its in service, entrance will be open with limited access until the work is done.
What we can't see is the work inside of the stations themselves with Kennedy being the last one as well Yonge to be fully completed. The rest should be completed by now or needing small amount of finishings touchup.
As noted, Yonge could be a problematic station as somethings have not worked out as plan or have gone south. Until Yonge is completed, the line will not open even for bypassing it.
