Weekend Subway Closures
• Crosstown Project Agreements requires CTS to make improvements at Eglinton subway station
• TTC has approved 24 closures in 2018 for this work
– Subway will close 2am Saturday mornings and re-open Monday mornings at 5am – Closures necessary because CTS must work on and/or needs access to the
subway tracks and Berwick portal – Work will occur 24 hours a day during the designated weekend closures
• 2018 closures provide benefits to TTC: – Construction of new subway service building – Upgrades/improvements to the subway station
• TTC & CTS coordination to limit overall number of Line 1 closures in 2018: – During 9 of the 24 closures, TTC will undertake states of Good Repair work – 15 out of the 24 Closures will be strictly from St Clair to Lawrence
Upgrades/Improvements to Subway Station
• During 2018, weekend closures also facilitate upgrades/improvements to existing subway station: – Smoke evacuation fans – New electrical systems – Improved fire detection systems – New escalators
• Materials and equipment will be delivered on the subway tracks via the
Berwick portal, necessitating the subway closures.
• Additional benefits to TTC/transit users associated with Crosstown construction: – Extension of the subway platform by 25 metres – Upgrading pedestrian tunnels that connect directly to current and future – development
New Subway Station Service Building
• Building will be located over the subway tracks at the Berwick portal • Provide improved ventilation and life safety systems for existing subway • Weekend work February – December 2018 • Weekend activities include excavation, shoring and foundation work
New Subway Station Service Building
New Subway Station Service Building

Description of Construction • Work will occur day and night on each planned subway closure weekend.
• Three basic phases of work planned: micro-piling, pre-cast installation, and material supply and removal work
• Micro-piling phase
– Involves the installation of smaller diameter piles within the TTC subway corridor
– Two micro-pile drill rigs, a mobile crane, and a concrete pump will be used continuously while concrete and steel deliveries will be intermittent. A hydrovac may be required occasionally depending on site conditions.
• Pre-cast Installation
– Involves the delivery and installation of pre-fabricated concrete components
– A mobile crane and various hand tools will be used regularly with intermittent delivery of pre-cast and concrete grout
• Material Supply and Removal
– Parts of Eglinton Station will need to be demolished and re-built. Berwick Portal will be used as the access point for nighttime work within the station
– Construction equipment could involve concrete trucks, mobile cranes, and bin trucks

Noise Monitoring and Mitigation
• CTS will be assessing sound levels during construction to ensure noise levels remain within allowable limits and to identify possible mitigation measures for construction activities.
• Noise mitigation measures already planned include: – Continuous and proactive noise monitoring from key locations
adjacent the work site – Acoustic enclosures for pumps and generators – Broadband backup alarms for equipment – Environmental awareness training and toolbox talks for contractors
and employees
