Here's how Metrolinx built a brand-new elevated rail line through Toronto Toronto Metrolinx
Since early April, passengers have been whisked over what was once among the busiest rail intersections in North America via a 1.4-kilometre-long elevated rail line, bypassing the former bottleneck and improving reliability as part of Metrolinx's mission to introduce all-day, two-way GO service.
The guideway's installation between Bloor Street West to south of Davenport Road was an anomaly in Toronto transit construction, in that the project actually came to fruition quickly, and the only delays came in the form of minor hiccups days before its initial intended opening of March 27. With the line now in use for daily service and the construction dust settling, Metrolinx has released a video detailing the process of building the new guideway.
Early on in the construction process, Metrolinx installed a diversion track, allowing crews to construct the guideway above without interrupting service along the Barrie Line.as a"precast and post-tensioned side-by-side double-voided box girder guideway structure."
