Aecon Group Inc. announced last month that the Mosaic Transit Group has reached substantial completion on the Finch West Light Rail Transit project.

The group has transferred full operational control of the 10.3-kilometre, 18-stop LRT line to Metrolinx, which aims to open service on the line later this week.

“We are incredibly proud to have delivered this transformative project – improving mobility, providing a sustainable transit system, and creating a vital connection to Toronto’s subway system and local transit hubs to meet the needs of growing populations,” said Aecon President and CEO Jean-Louis Servranckx

Aecon holds a 33.3% interest in equity and construction of the Finch West LRT and a 50% interest in the 30-year maintenance term. The company delivered the project alongside Mosaic Transit Group consortium partners ACS Infrastructure Canada Inc. and CRH Canada Group Inc.

The Finch West LRT will provide transit from Humber College Station on the west end of the line to Finch West Station in the east. The line will integrate with Toronto’s transit network and feature connections to Peel and York Region’s local transit services, as well as to GO Transit’s regional network.

The state-of-the-art maintenance and storage facility that will house and service 18 light rail vehicles earned LEED Silver certification.
