Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario have reached a claims settlement agreement with Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS) about the Eglinton Crosstown Line project.

Worth CAD325 million (US$253.38 million), the agreement resolves claims, explaining that the most significant schedule delay impacts have been COVID-19 and an existing structural defect at the Eglinton Line 1 Station, as well as a number of technical claims. As part of this settlement, CTS can not make any future claims on a variety of issues that are now considered fully settled.  

The Eglinton Crosstown Line project is currently under construction and is nearing completion. Under the agreement, CTS will substantially complete the project’s construction and systems scope by the end of September 2022. 

The Eglinton Crosstown Line will transform transit in Toronto along its 19km route, stopping at 25 stations, connecting Toronto from the east to the west, with journeys 60% faster than before, and providing direct connections to TTC subway Line 1, 2 and 3, three GO lines and also the UP Express.
