The Hurontario LRT, also known as the Hazel McCallion line, was awarded a $4.6 billion contract in 2019 to design, build, finance and operate the line for 30 years .

The 18 -km line was initially promised to be delivered in “Fall 2024 ,” according to Infrastructure Ontario .

A new report from S&P Global Ratings pointed to newly reported delays” in construction that could jeopardize Mobilinx ’s ability to pay off its creditors.

Metrolinx says progress is being made on the route, but a growing number of issues are plaguing the line.
