OVERVIEW

The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project is a major infrastructure investment designed to improve rapid transit in Toronto, the largest city of Canada. As part of the 21 km Eglinton Crosstown LRT route, the Eglinton West Extension stretches 9.2 kilometres and 7 stops, with the capacity of 69,700 daily rides and saving up to 5,800 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. Since the construction started in 2021, the management of traffic congestion through the Eglinton West LRT Extension work zones is a top of priority for all stakeholders involved.
