A target, per the source[1]: "2031 remains a target opening date," though Metrolinx's own CEO says the line may open later, in the "early 2030s." Construction start: Metrolinx's project timeline lists "Project groundbreaking at Exhibition Station March 2022" - the ceremony with Premier Ford and Mayor Tory on 27 Mar 2022 (Toronto Star/CBC[3]/Global News, 27 Mar 2022); the old 2031 date was the target opening, not a construction date. Completion: Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay, 18 Feb 2026 (CBC): "the plan is to open the Ontario Line by the early 2030s, potentially later than the 2031 target" - "we think we're still trending towards the early 2030s to be done with civil infrastructure"; CBC, 11 Aug 2026: "Most recently, Metrolinx has said it will be done sometime in the early 2030s" - so the end keeps the last dated target, 2031, which is likely to slip.Toronto's Ontario Line, a new subway line meant to relieve one of North America's most congested cities, is under construction with its budget already well past the original estimate.
