The project team, in which Aecon is a 50% partner, will design, build, and finance a three kilometer elevated guideway connecting the existing Georgetown GO Transit line to the Toronto Pearson International Airport. The project includes construction of a new ARL station at the airport Terminal 1, multiple utility relocations as well as crossings over the environmentally sensitive Mimico Creek and three major roadways. Financial close on the project is expected by early 2012, and completion of the ARL Spur project is scheduled for the summer of 2014. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
