The 7.8-kilometre Scarborough Subway Extension is being delivered in two large contracts: the stations, rail and systems package and the advance tunnel contract. The tunnel contract was awarded in May 2021 to Strabag.

Teams will begin preparing proposals that detail how they will deliver the project.

The development phase is expected to start in autumn 2022.
