We’re going deep to show new work on the Hurontario light rail transit line (HuLRT).
Especially when it comes to activity around Port Credit Station.
Recent images from across the route show routine elements, including watermain and dry utilities relocations. That’s important work on the line.

But the star of the gallery, this week, is a nice image down into the expanse of HuLRT progress at Port Credit Station. It’s a bit of a long way down.

As well, while Metrolinx News has been keeping readers up to date on progress on the ‘Push Box’, we thought we’d add in another recent photo from that section – because the engineering is so intriguing.
