There was a milestone reached this week as the tunnel boring machines digging the Eglinton LRT broke through at the construction chamber at Allen Road. The machines will now cross the short distance to the wall on the east side and begin their boring through to Yonge Street about 6.7 kilometres to the east. Work on the Brentcliffe Road and Yonge Street leg of the Eglinton tunnel is underway and Metrolinx has estimated that it will reach Yonge from the east side by the end of 2016.
