Transforming Toronto’s Transit Network 

The Ontario Line is the first tunnelling project to start in Toronto’s downtown core in more than 60 years. Bechtel, as the Delivery Partner with our key suppliers Bantrel Co. and Accenture, is bringing its expertise in urban infrastructure to maximize opportunities for contractors and engage with communities to address construction concerns.

Expanding Connectivity Across the City 

The Ontario Line will introduce 15 new stations, running from Exhibition Place through downtown Toronto to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT at Don Mills Road. With an end-to-end journey of less than 30 minutes—compared to the current 70-minute commute—the project will significantly improve transit accessibility and reduce congestion.
