Think of these new images from the Finch West light rail transit (LRT) project as altitude with attitude.
The pictures, shot from high above, give a wide view of some interesting progress on the Toronto transit route.
For example, inside the fenced area, drilling work is happening for Finch West Station (FWS). Early works such as water main, storm sewer and hydro work continue on Finch Avenue West and crews work to install the road deck on the north side of Finch from Romfield to Keele.
Here’s a look at drilling for the FWS site. (Michael Fayehun photo)
Next week, the new drilling stage will be set up in the roadway on the southeast and southwest sides of Keele and Finch.

Meanwhile, at the Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF), the footing foundation is being poured and nearly complete, and installation of structural steel, grade raise and dry and wet utility work is ongoing.
