Eglinton Crosstown West Extension

Scarlett Road portal

The Scarlett Road portal will be located along the north side of Eglinton Avenue West, just west of Scarlett Road.

The portal will serve as the transition point between the 1.5-kilometre elevated segment of the line and the western underground portion of the route, which will run west to Renforth Station in Mississauga. The elevated guideway will travel east over the Humber River toward Jane Street, before the line transitions back underground to connect to Mount Dennis Station.

The portal is designed with the community in mind to ensure fast, reliable transit service while blending smoothly into the surrounding area.

The existing extraction shaft, originally used during construction for removing the tunnel boring machines from the ground, is being converted into the Scarlett Road portal.

This work involves reinforcing existing infrastructure around the extraction shaft to ensure it can support future Eglinton Crosstown LRT service. The area will also be expanded to accommodate the tracks and support systems for the line.
