This video is from 4 years ago, explaining the underpinning being done under Eglinton Station. Bet this is why everything is s-l-o-w in completing the stations. Why don't they just say that is the reason we are so behind.


It's because if they accept that the underpinning is the reason for the delay then they'd have to accept that they took their sweet ass time to start working on the underpinning, which is by far the most complex and complicated part of the Crosstown construction. This is Project Management 101 when doing your timelines. Metrolinx and Crosslinx messed up big time and they're too proud of stupid to accept it.

Don't need to accept anything if you don't say anything!

I’m sure this is answered already, but what is the new concrete structure in the middle of Yonge street, north of Eglinton? Is that a future entrance or will the road simply have a divider there? Looks like more than a divider though.
It's answered here:
It's a ventilation shaft. I remember asking the Crosstown team about this and they insisted it couldn't be accommodated under the roadway (such as those you'll see on Spadina Rd) and so there's a small median structure on the North side of the intersection.
