Every day more than 800 construction workers disappear underground to work on the six-stop, $2.63 billion extension of the Spadina line into York Region. Since 2009, the project has been hit by delays and complications. Opening day has been pushed back more than two years to late 2017 and a new management company has been brought in to ensure the finishing touches are completed as planned.
Right now, the physical structure of the line is largely complete: the tunnels are in place and most of the line has been fitted with track and power rails. The stations, however, are still mostly shells lacking wiring, tiling, lifts, escalators and other important fittings, and much of the next two years will be spent preparing the subway for use.
