The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE) Tunnel will improve mobility for the community, decrease traffic congestion and reduce emissions by providing a new, more sustainable transportation option in Toronto. The ECWE is the first phase of work for the 9.2-kilometre extension of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT). The extension will run primarily underground and westward from the future Mount Dennis Station between Weston Road and Black Creek Drive, to Renforth Drive.This system will connect to the GO Kitchener Line and Union-Pearson (UP) Express at Mount Dennis Station, TTC bus services in Toronto, as well as GO and MiWay bus services.
West End Connectors, selected to design, build and finance the project is a consortium comprised of Aecon (40%), Dragados Canada Inc. (40%) and Ghella (20%).
