Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

That is (or just looks like) a lot of bunched up excavators.

Each scoop is done by a new excavator! Hahahaha

Great shots! All those excavators and construction equipment must be a kids dream!

Work is well underway to demolish the Progress Avenue bridge.

Growing up in Scarborough it was almost iconic.

@Richard White - we must have been there close to the same time...

Those drone shots were taken between 1:12 - 1:26 pm. You could be in one...(lower left?)

I was tempted to try for a drone selfie in that reflective glass.

Thank you for the Drone shots! I saw people complaining about the noise but if you told them it'd be done this much in 3 days they wouldn't believe you!

Ripping things apart in 3 days, sure.
Building things in 3 years, nope.

Although I see why they need to remove this. I’m not happy that it just means more gridlock and only at grade intersections will replace it.

SRT track removal starting soon. On a side note, they have been constructing an intervention headwall on the southside of McCowan and 401. Does that mean the TBM ran into problems under the 401?
