What is happening at Eglinton Avenue and Allen Road?
Extraction and Launch Shaft Construction
These large shafts, used for the entry and removal of the tunnel boring machines, will be located within the Eglinton Avenue roadway both east and west of Allen Road. Each shaft will also have an adjacent construction site on the north side of Eglinton Avenue for various tunnelling activities.
Construction reaches Eglinton Avenue and Allen Road
Construction of the Eglinton Crosstown is underway along Eglinton Avenue at Allen Road, which means some restrictions for motorists and pedestrians.
Motorists can expect delays with only one westbound lane providing access northbound on Allen Road. Along Eglinton, traffic is reduced to one lane in either direction in this area. Access onto and exiting Allen Road will be busier than usual for many months as the new Crosstown line is being built.
