During their first term, the Ford government announced that they had begun tunnelling for the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (see more here). In December 2023, the Ford government announced that they had awarded the contract for the elevated portion of the Extension; and in June 2024, they announced that they had finished tunnelling the western underground portion. This promise continues to be in progress.
