Excavation is almost done for the brand-new Finch West light rail transit (LRT) station at Keele Street and Finch Avenue West in Toronto’s northwest end.
If it looks deep, that’s because it is. The station is 11 metres below street level – more than three storeys underground.
It’s being built above the existing Finch West TTC station and will link the LRT to TTC’s Line 1 subway.
Once excavation is complete, construction on the station will begin.

From deep below ground, we head much closer to street level in our next photo.
Crews are working hard on the Finch West LRT route including, as you can see above, new watermain bends at the Finch Avenue West and Signet Drive intersection near the future Signet Arrow Station.
To cap off this photo update, here is a shot of the very first structural steel columns for that Humber College Stations south building which were recently installed.
