These large ducts are for the 230 kV transmission cables that were stored on the south side of the MX tracks for a while. They are replacing 3 old circuits that bring energy in from the Portlands Energy Centre and previously from the Hearn Generating Station to the Esplanade Transmission Station on Lower Sherbourne. There may be a duct per cable - 3 conductor cables, plus a neutral cable per circuit. The structures that supported the 2 overhead circuits have been removed to make room for the extra 2 tracks from the Don Yard to Union station and for the expanded Wilson Yard.The bridges over Lower Sherburne and Lower Jarvis are so MLX can add an extra track.
Yes, it's a pity they did not also remove the transmission towers that go north too but .......These large ducts are for the 230 kV transmission cables that were stored on the south side of the MX tracks for a while.

The location of the previous structures are shown below.

No, it's not being built yet. That site has been the construction laydown site for the work replacing all of the bridges over the various twists and turns of the Don River further south. The project has another 2 years to go before it's wrapped up.It looks like the layover site south of Oriole station is starting to be built.
Does anyone know what those bridge sections are for? They have been there for a year now, but have recently been assembled into longer pieces.
A piece of work equipment ran through an open switch in the #5 crossover at Danforth on Sunday night, damaging it.It appears something broke or a previously broken switch was identified during the track shift on the LSE corridor this past weekend.
"During construction work that was taking place this past weekend, a switch issue was identified near Danforth GO.
We continue to work hard to repair the issue. Trains will travel at reduced speed through this area, and are estimated to arrive at their destinations 5 to 10 minutes later than usual until the issue is resolved."

There are two construction closures for Stouffville that seem dedicated to the line unlike the last several that were actually for the LSE corridor.Lots of workers doing something at the West Highland Creek bridge site this morning!
