Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx have issued Requests for Proposals (RFP) for two Ontario Line works packages: the Pape Tunnel and Underground Stations and the Elevated Guideway and Stations.

These contracts will contribute to the delivery of the 15.6-kilometre Ontario Line, which will provide a rapid transit service to connect the Ontario Science Centre to Exhibition/Ontario Place in Toronto via 15 stations.
