Overview
In 2020, Comtech, in partnership with Arup, was awarded the Technical Advisory Services for the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE) project by Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario (IO). The proposed Eglinton West extension project is part of the Province of Ontario's $28 billion Subways Program. The ECWE project will add 9.2 kilometer of the new LRT line with seven new stops from Mount Dennis to the eastern end of the Mississauga Transitway at Renforth Gate. This new line mainly operates underground to help reduce travel time. The ECWE extension will link to other transit networks in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) – Union Pearson (UP) Express and Kitchener Line GO Train service at Mount Dennis, TTC bus services at all transit stops in Toronto, and MiWay and GO Bus services Renforth Drive. Comtech and Arup are working side-by-side with Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario to deliver the project, which is estimated to be complete by 2031.
