They’re both consortiums of companies formed specifically for their respective projects.

EllisDon is part of both consortiums. Go figure.
 
Everything looked good this morning, it looked like 5 minute service. Around 9:30 heading Downtown, I think I saw a train that had just gone off line as a train would after the morning peak hour and frequency now seemed more like 10 minutes. Heading south around 12:00 however, it seems something may have occurred which caused them to stop all trains. I can't say for sure between Downtown and 95 Ave, but from where my 73B caught back up to VLSE in Strathern, I only saw trains stopped at SB Bonnie Doon, SB on the south end of the ramp to the elevated section, NB north of Argyll Road, SB? at the Millbourne Stop, and 1 train at Mill Woods. Soon after I got to Mill Woods TC trains seemed to start running again.

Not quite, Metrolinx is an Ontario Crown agency that runs GO transit and is building the Ontario line (on top of a bunch of other transit projects in and around Toronto), so one of the two will be around for the long term -- at least until a new government has some new idea

Yeah my mistake, misread the comment. Crosslinx is the contractor for Line 5 Eglinton and is a private consortium. Metrolinx is the crown corp that manages road/transit infrastructure in Ontario and is the project owner for afaik all transit projects in the GTA, including Line 5 and the Ontario line.

Kind of confusing naming lol
 
I'm pretty sure the bridge pieces weren't there last Thursday.

Yup! Noticed those last night. Btw, wouldn’t it make more sense to start on 1 end and work towards the other? Rather than start in the middle….go to 1 end and then removed, replaced and head to the other end?
 
Additional concrete repairs.
