After almost a decade of anticipation, construction is well underway on a long-promised pedestrian tunnel that will connect two of Toronto's key transit hubs, namely Bloor GO/UP Express Station and Dundas West subway station. Metrolinx started building the 270-metre-long pedestrian tunnel last year as part of the larger Kitchener Fourth Track and Go Expansion projects, which are aimed at transforming regional transit across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).The new tunnel is set to provide a direct connection between Bloor GO Station (a stop on the Kitchener rail corridor served by UP Express and regional GO trains) and Dundas West Station on the TTC's Line 2, which also connects to streetcars and bus routes. Currently, you have to make the frustrating above-ground transfer between the two stations.
