Metrolinx refuses to provide new opening date for troubled Eglinton Crosstown project
Metrolinx is refusing to provide an update on an opening date for the long-delayed Eglinton Crosstown, citing technical issues in the testing and commissioning phase that are continuously pushing the finish date further down the road.
“We will announce an opening date once the high risk commissioning work has been completed, but not before that time. Any prediction of an the opening date in the project will just be an estimate, and I’m not comfortable giving that,” said Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster.
“When I give you a date it must be something I believe in and we’re not there yet.”
