Facade Project Manager

Ontario Line South

Ferrovial Construction Canada Inc. and VINCI Construction Grands Projects are to design, build

and finance the Ontario Line Southern Civil, Stations and Tunnel (South Civil) package.

Working together as Ontario Transit Group we are currently mobilizing our design and construction crews, with major works to commence in 2023. The South Civil contract is anticipated to be completed in 2030.

The project will strengthen Ontario's economy by supporting an estimated 1,500 jobs at the peak of construction.

What is the project?

The benefits to Ontario

Faster, more frequent, and reliable access to rapid transit with more than 227,500 people will live within a 10-minute walk of an Ontario Line station.

• Improve the quality of life for commuters by reducing daily travel time
• Reduce crowding on the existing Line 1 (Yonge-University) subway
• Up to 57,000 more jobs accessible by transit (in 45 minutes or less) for Toronto residents
• Economic and community growth along the future transit line and thousands of job opportunities annually during construction
• Reduction in traffic congestion, greenhouse gases and fuel consumption by providing an alternative transportation option
