This line is opening sometime in 2023 IMO. Not surprised. A good 12 years after construction started. This is embarrassing.

let's play a game guess how many delays this line will have before it finally opens! god forbid there are any issues that arise during testing
It would be interesting if Finch West opens before this line.let's play a game guess how many delays this line will have before it finally opens! god forbid there are any issues that arise during testing
Good, Metrolinx's argument was in bad faith anyway.

"Metrolinx predicted the LRT would be complete some time in 2022, but never announced a firm date. Monday’s ruling likely means the two sides will set a new deadline, and Crosslinx could avoid at least some of the financial penalties it was facing for missing the original schedule."This line is opening sometime in 2023 IMO.

This is exactly what I think when transit city supporters claim "Scarborough would have had 69,420 kilometres of LRT by now." It seems like any major transit/infra project in Ontario is subject to considerable delays nowadays.LRT is fast to build they said...

Ye I know, that's why I added the /sThe surface portion is obviously less complex and easier to build than the tunnel portion. I have read anywhere that the surface portion has caused great difficulty or significantly contributed to the delay.
It is not that bad. The tunnelling contract 1 was signed September 2012 and work completed January 2015, and tunnelling contract 2 was signed November 2013 and work completed August 2016, and stations contract was signed late 2015 and was supposed to complete in 2020 but will complete in late 2022 pushing opening to 2023. So tunnelling contracts completed in 3 years, and station contract will have taken 7 years, 1.5 years of those during a pandemic. Seven years is similar to the Spadina extention I think. All these projects seem to take 7 years.This line is opening sometime in 2023 IMO. Not surprised. A good 12 years after construction started. This is embarrassing.
