The government of Ontario has broken ground on King-Bathurst, Queen-Spadina and Moss Park stations, to build the Ontario Line in Canada.

Construction at the three sites includes removing soil and bedrock to create 30-40 m deep stations with elevators and escalators connecting the subways to the street. The work will also prepare for future tunnel boring machines to create the tunnels that will connect all the underground stations through the downtown segment of the Ontario Line.  

The King-Bathurst Station will serve more than 5,000 commuters during the morning rush hour, creating crucial connections between the Ontario Line and popular streetcar routes like 504 King and 511 Bathurst. The Queen-Spadina and Moss Park stations are expected to serve more than 7,000 commuters each and facilitate more than 5,000 transfers during the morning rush hour. The Ontario Line project will help reduce crowding on Line 1 (Yonge-University) by 15% and at Union Station by 14%. Once complete, the 15.6-km (9.7-mile) Ontario Line will have 15 stations, running from Exhibition Place through the downtown core and connecting to the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit. The line will offer more than 40 connections to other subway, bus, streetcar and regional train services, bringing 227,500 more people within walking distance of transit and reducing daily car trips by at least 28,000.
