Metrolinx Crosstown LRT crews complete installation of rail on stretch of Toronto’s Brentcliffe Portal

Metrolinx crews working on the Eglinton Crosstown light-rail transit (LRT) project have finished installing tracks along a stretch of track leading westbound from the vital Brentcliffe portal, which has an underground tunnel opening at Eglinton Avenue East and Brentwood Road.

This stretch of tracks will be put to the test later this spring when six light-rail vehicles will make their debut along the eastern portion of the alignment for vehicle testing. Vehicle testing in this section will start in the spring and continue into the summer months.

Meanwhile, in other developments along the Crosstown line, at Chaplin Station’s southeast entrance, crews are erecting structural steel and installing the decks at the second and roof levels.

And at Mount Dennis Station, the architectural works at the bus terminal have been completed.
