/CNW/ – Aecon Group Inc. (TSX: ARE) announced today that Scarborough Transit Connect (STC), a 50/50 consortium between Aecon and FCC Canada Limited (FCC) in which Aecon is the lead partner, has been selected by Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario as the development partner for the Scarborough Subway Extension Stations, Rail and Systems (SRS) project in

Ontario

. The SRS package for the Scarborough Subway Extension is being delivered using a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) model.

STC has executed a development phase agreement with IO and Metrolinx to collaboratively finalize the scope, cost and schedule of various elements of the project over an 18-month period, with certain early works activities commencing during this phase. Upon successful completion of the development phase, an implementation phase will commence under a target price contract.

The project will extend the TTC’s Line 2 subway service nearly eight kilometres farther from the existing

Kennedy Station

northeast to McCowan Road and Sheppard Avenue, including three new stations with connections to Line 5 (the Eglinton Crosstown LRT), GO train and bus services, TTC bus service and Durham Region Transit.  The extension will replace the existing Line 3, improving the customer experience by offering quick and seamless access to downtown and helping reduce travel times.
