TORONTO – Aecon Group recently announced it has been awarded a $290-million design-build contract by the Ontario government for the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension project’s Elevated Guideway in Toronto.
The scope of work includes the design and construction of a 1.5-kilometre elevated guideway that will run along the north side of Eglinton Avenue West, from just east of Jane Street to just west of Scarlett Road, stated a release. Construction is expected to commence in early 2024, with anticipated completion in 2028.
The guideway will form part of the 9.2-kilometre extension of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The extension will run from Mount Dennis in the east to Renforth Drive in the west, featuring connections to UP Express and Kitchener GO train services, as well as TTC, GO and MiWay bus services.
Aecon will subcontract some early works to Aecon Six Nations, a general partnership between Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation and Aecon.
“We are pleased to expand our role in delivering this critical transit extension that will improve mobility for surrounding communities and decrease travel times for commuters,” said Aecon CEO Jean-Louis Servranckx in a statement.
