Project Timeline
The key Project milestones are outlined below. These dates are approximate and may change as the Project moves forward.
This Project began in August 2026 and the design is expected to be completed in early 2028.
Design, tendering, and construction timelines depend on several factors. These include completion of the detail design and environmental assessment process, environmental review and approvals, any required permits or property requirements, utility coordination, and confirmation of funding and construction scheduling by MTO.
