The 11-kilometre, 18-stop LRT line along Finch Avenue West between Keele and Humber College is widely expected to open to commuters later this year. While Metrolinx remains tight-lipped about a potential timeline for the new line to enter service, the latest update reveals that work is all but complete for the future TTC Line 6.? In the first episode of Metrolinx Builds, we talk project facts, updates and what the next steps are to bring this important project into service for the community.

All of the line's 16 street-level stops have been powered up, while major construction is complete for the line's terminal underground stations at Humber College and Finch West.Metrolinx states that much of the remaining work involves driver training and testing of the line's 18 LRVs and supporting systems. This ongoing testing and commissioning phase marks the final step before the Finch West LRT enters service.

The Finch West line was previously scheduled to enter service in 2023, becoming the latest Toronto transit project to miss a deadline and leave riders in the lurch.
