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?

• Stations:
• One above-ground station to be integrated with the existing GO Transit Exhibition Station
• Four new underground stations (King/Bathurst, Queen/Spadina, Moss Park, Corktown)
• Two underground stations to be integrated with the existing TTC Osgoode and Queen subway stations
• A six-kilometer tunnel and associated tunnelling works from Exhibition to Don Yard portal (west of the Don River)

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

• Reduction in traffic congestion, greenhouse gases and fuel consumption by providing an alternative transportation option
• Reduce crowding on the existing Line 1 (Yonge-University) subway
• Improve the quality of life for commuters by reducing daily travel time
• 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
