Gridlock costs Toronto an estimated $6 billion each year. Bechtel is working with the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to extend the city’s subway system.
Prior to Bechtel joining the project, it had been overdue and over budget. The TTC brought in Bechtel in 2015 to get the project back on track.

We are providing program management services, as part of an integrated delivery team with our customer, for the last two years of this critical project. The Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension Project will extend the western end of the existing Spadina Subway Line 1 across Toronto city boundaries into the rapidly growing Region of York.
The 5.3-mile (8.6 kilometer) extension includes six new stations with several intermodal connections including GO commuter rail, city bus service, bus rapid transit, and commuter parking. It also requires four new power substations to supply the subway.Watch a timelapse video of the new railway.
“The Toronto-York-Spadina Subway Extension will significantly improve the efficiency and sustainability of public transit in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.” —Adam Vaughan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister of Canada
