West End Connectors consortium, led by Aecon Group, has reached financial close on the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE) Advance Tunnel project in Toronto, Canada. The contract for the project has been awarded by Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx on May 20, 2021, and its value is CAD729.2 million (US$604,5 million). The consortium is comprised of Aecon (40%), Dragados Canada Inc. (40%) and Ghella (20%), which will design, build and finance the project.

The ECWE project is the first phase of work for the extension of 9.2 kilometers of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT). The scope of works includes the design and construction of launch and extraction shafts, tunnels and headwalls, the installation of precast concrete tunnel liners, as well as other auxiliary work. The extension will take place primarily underground and westward from the future Mount Dennis Station between Weston Road and Black Creek Drive to Renforth Drive.
