Toronto Union Subway Station: Second Platform and Concourse Improvements | ?m | ?s | TTC | IBI Group

We have "unmarked watermains?!?!?!"

"So how does the water get from here to there?"

I'd assume that they know the watermain exists, but it wasn't where they thought it is.

Though who knows, it could be some long forgotten stub to feed a building that burned down a century or so ago.

At least it wasn't the Front Street Interceptor sewer. More ick than eek...

The Post had a nice figure showing the end result of the work. It may have been here already, but here it is again.

very cool! wish they would do the platform edge signage at least for all the interchange stations. would make it much easier to know where you're supposed to be.

They've installed the lights here now. They look like what was recently installed at Yonge Station.

I posted in the Union Station thread by mistake, so apologies if you are seeing this again, but I noticed the other day that near the edge of the platform facing the south wall, there seem to be new pillars going in. Are these temporary or permanent?

Probably - see the pre/post station plans on p. 6

Cross-posting a view from above that SkyJacked posted on the L Tower thread:

More random unrelated pictures. I'm glad they are working for you all.

These were taken a week or so ago from the west side approximately level 55.

A bit off topic, but what are they doing to the roof of Union?

Looks like they're preparing whatever is going underneath the eventual copper roof, which will be greened like the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, as the pictures suggest. If not copper then something else, but that blue stuff is just what goes under it.
