Update on building the tunnelled Eglinton Crosstown West Extension
March 1, 2024
TUNNELLING UPDATE: We secured tunnelling, then $2 billion to build the tunnelled Eglinton Crosstown West Extension, & now construction is well underway!
Both Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs), Renny and Rexy, will tunnel approximately 6 kilometres along the Eglinton Avenue West Corridor before completing their journey at Scarlett Rd in early 2024. See the map below for the updated location of both TBMs.
As you can see both TBMs are currently close to Royal York Rd and moving East towards Scarlett Rd. Renny and Rexy are expected to breakthrough at Scarlett Rd and Eglinton Avenue West in Spring 2024.
