Here’s the latest publicly available update on the Ontario Line route.
-
The project remains a major Toronto transit expansion with 15 stations over roughly 15.6 kilometers, running from Exhibition Place to the Don Mills/Don Valley area and connecting with multiple GO and TTC services. This configuration is echoed in federal, provincial, and Metrolinx materials released in recent years. [cite ][cite ]

In April 2026, federal communications highlighted that tunnelling had officially started on the Ontario Line, marking a key milestone, and noted a rebranding of four downtown stations to better reflect their neighbourhoods. The alignment remains Exhibition Place to Eglinton Crosstown (Don Mills area) with connections to three GO lines and existing TTC routes. [cite ]

Metrolinx continues to publish milestones and notices related to the Ontario Line, including progress updates on tunnelling and contract progress, with ongoing coordination across municipal and federal partners. Expect further station name refinements and updated construction timelines as work progresses. [cite ][cite ]
