Think you're doing your math wrong. It's 3-4 years away from opening.. not 5!

Isn't opening date still September 2021? That's barely over 2.5 years away.

Which would mean that in 24 months they should be all but finished, with vehicles able to run to Kennedy (or at least Science Centre), for testing.

I"m more convinced that they'll have enough vehicles to test in 24 months than some of those underground caverns will be passable! All those new photos they just released of each station don't fill me with confidence. There's a lot of work still to do underground.

Mount Dennis, Keelesdale and Oakwood are the three most advanced stations at this point, and these are also the three stations that need to achieve substantial completion early, to allow for LRV testing though the westernmost segment of the line.

Still a lot of work to do at Keele and Caledonia, but we can see the platform level starting to take shape. It doesn't seem that outlandish to me to suggest that in 6 months to 1 year, these stations will be ready for LRV testing.

Idk about the rest of the stations though! Forest Hill/Bathurst Station is still a pile of mud. I can see why Crosslinx wanted to accelerate the work here. It looks like the least completed station on the line:

Doesn't look like much progress.

Mount Dennis station is the most advanced in the project, according to those pictures

It's on the surface and should be 6-9 months ahead of all other stations without much digging. Keelesdale got a head start with excavation and it suppose to be the model station for the rest of the line. A couple years is enough time to finish them if well managed. Every station should be excavated soon if they were to complete on time.

Mt. Dennis is on a sandbar. The same sandbar continued down to Jane & Alliance, and was a sand & gravel pit for Smythe Ltd. (of Maple Leaf Gardens fame). Likely they used that sand to became part of the aggregate for the concrete they used.

CP track almost reinstalled. Can't see to the north as what working taking place, but track on the new bridge.

There is a new structure going up north of the Kodak building and can't get a shot of it.

False framing for the piers for the elevated bridge was being cut apart as I driving by today. T beams missing over the creek, but in place with no deck to the pour bridge. The curbs are being form and place on the bridge. Curbs from the station to the bridge ready for forming.

Too much snow to get a number of shots. More up on site.

While I am worried about the fact that the stations at Chaplin and Mount Pleasant have barely started being excavated, what really concerns me is that they've barely stared on the work to underpin and excavate under the existing subways at Yonge and the Allen. Those are the two most crucial parts of the project, and the ones that appear to be, to me at least, are the areas most likely to be delayed due to unforeseen issues cropping up during the work.
