Province Breaks Ground on Ontario Line’s Queen Station

May 28, 2025

·         Under the leadership of Premier Ford, we’re building the Ontario Line to keep people moving across the city with faster, more reliable transit.

·         With crews set to excavate more than 100,000 cubic meters of dirt and rock, the new Ontario Line platform at Queen Station will be built 40 metres below street level, directly beneath the existing TTC Queen Station.

·         It will be the busiest stop on the Ontario Line, serving over 15,000 riders during peak hours, and significantly improving access to destinations throughout downtown Toronto and across the GTA.

·         Once complete, the 15.6-kilometre Ontario Line will have 15 stations, running from Exhibition Place through the downtown core and connecting to the Line 5 Eglinton at Don Mills Road.  

·         The line will offer more than 40 connections to other subway, bus, streetcar and regional train services, bringing 227,500 more people within walking distance of transit and reducing daily car trips by at least 28,000.

·         The Ontario Line is a game-changer for our economy, connecting more people to housing and supporting thousands of good-paying construction jobs at a time when we must protect Ontario workers and businesses from growing threats from south of the border.
