A handful of pictures taken this afternoon. Apologies for any dark images, had to face directly into the sun for a few of these. Shoring is going full steam ahead:

Loving the views from the bridge. It's so rare we get such great vantage point for a huge project like this

North entrance building update.

Portal area update

Those are the piles for the future tunnel portal for the OL i believe. Interesting to see it starting to come together, even this early on.

Indeed they are. With all the piling rigs off site/moved to the North building, excavation should be started soon.

Piling work happening for the new middle GO platform this weekend with Lakeshore West service suspended.

...I pity those who had to go the Lakeshore West route for any particular reason this weekend. /sigh

Took my father 5.5 hours to come in to Union from London on Saturday. My partner flew to LA in less time on the same day LOL.

Piling continues for the centre GO platform.

Starting with a bridge they've built so crew can safely access the work zone.

The money shot (concrete being deposited into the ground) is embarrassingly out of frame here.

From the ground

And another portal/tbm launch shaft update from today. Still not proper excavating as the perimeter foundation work isn't complete.

In other news, the new pedestrian bridge is now closed for the winter

@Frankietls you are the true Inside Man!

Any chance you can be the Inside Man for the Crosstown and Finch West projects for us as well? Just you know...asking for a couple friends here.
