Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown LRT construction just hit yet another snag Toronto
quietly announced the start of reconstruction
for the line's surface-level stop at Sloane Avenue, between the Don Valley Parkway and Victoria Park Avenue, stating that an uneven layer of concrete would be repaired. The stop along the line's at-grade section in the centre median of Eglinton Avenue East was built in 2020, and just three years later, it is undergoing noisy remediation work that will be causing locals much frustration during the coming weeks.
Metrolinx states that"This work requires chipping of the platform and placing new concrete," a brain-rattling process"using an excavator and jackhammer to remove concrete and hardened material." The transit agency says that the work will be carried out Mondays through Fridays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. for approximately one month.
