What is the Crosstown?
Metrolinx is building the Eglinton Crosstown, Toronto’s new 19-kilometre light rail transit (LRT) line that will run along Eglinton Avenue with a central 10 km underground section. The Crosstown will connect Mount Dennis in the west to Kennedy Road in the east, and the new service will be up to 60% faster than the bus service today. With 25 stations and stops and connections to 3 TTC subway stations, 54 local bus routes, 3 GO Transit lines and the UP Express, the Crosstown will improve travel times and change the way we move through the heart of the city.
Hydro Utility Relocation at Fairbank Station
What work is taking Place?
Crews will relocate overhead hydro utilities in the vicinity of Dufferin Street and Eglinton Avenue West to prepare for construction of Fairbank Station. Existing hydro poles and cables located in the station box area will be removed, temporary poles will be installed, and the cables will be relocated to the temporary poles or an underground duct bank.
Temporary power outages will be required when switching over to the new hydro infrastructure. Businesses and residents may experience short-duration hydro outages of approximately 20 minutes. Longer duration outages will be communicated to the affected businesses and residents separately.
