Project Details: The Spadina Subway Extension is the largest transit expansion project to be undertaken by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) since the Bloor-Danforth Subway line was built 40 years ago. The TTC subway network will go beyond the City of Toronto limits for the first time and link neighbouring communities in York Region. The 8.6-kilometre extension to the existing Spadina subway line will be underground, and will add six more stations, including a new station at York University. The TTC is managing the project’s design and construction and will own and operate the subway extension.
