Crews will be performing construction work on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project at Cedarvale and Forest Hill stations over the next few months. At Cedarvale Station, a 36-hour concrete pour will occur from July 31 to August 1, reducing Eglinton Avenue to one lane in each direction. Extended construction hours will also resume to complete pedestrian tunnels near Eglinton West Station. At Forest Hill Station, excavation and construction of station entrances will continue through 2020, and concrete pours are scheduled for August 14 and late August at the secondary entrance. Traffic configurations will be impacted at both stations through late summer due to this ongoing construction work.
