This massive infrastructure project, which spent nearly two decades in planning limbo, is finally moving underground. By utilizing two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) to carve six kilometres of twin tunnels, Metrolinx is officially bridging the gap between Finch station and Richmond Hill. <\/p>\n<p>For GTA real estate investors and homeowners, this progress signals a shift in the regional transit map, particularly for the Royal Orchard neighbourhood where tunnels will be bored 22 to 29 metres deep to minimize surface impact. With the demolition of the former Hudson\u2019s Bay at Centerpoint Mall underway to accommodate the new Steeles station, the physical transformation of the Yonge corridor is accelerating.
