Metrolinx invites three teams of companies to come up with proposals for the design, construction of three stations, as well as laying tracks and installing systems for Toronto's Scarborough Subway Extension.

Pay attention that this contract is not for the construction of the 7,8km long tunnel. The tunnel construction itself has already been awarded to Austrian company Strabag in May 2021 (please read my post: STRABAG awarded €500m Scarborough Subway extension work in Toronto). Metrolinx had explicitly divided the work to two separate contracts, one for tunneling and another one for underground station construction, laying the rails and equipping the extension with systems.

Strabag has been shipping the tunnel boring machine from Germany's Herrenknecht to do the boring.

Below is part of what Metrolinx released:

Scarborough Subway Extension update – Three teams shortlisted for contract to build stations

Keep reading to find out more about the three teams.

One of Toronto’s new subway projects is taking another step forward.
