Description
Description | The first two Ontario Line tunnel boring machines (TBMs), named Libby and Corkie, will dig twin tunnels in the downtown portion of the forthcoming Ontario Line transit line in Toronto. These machines were assembled and tested in Germany before being shipped to Canada. The tunneling journey will start in 2026, digging roughly six kilometers of tunnels underground from east of Exhibition Station to west of the Don River. The Ontario Line will feature 15 new stations and significantly reduce travel time across the city. |
