Exterior Work – Future Path connection
The future PATH connection will provide access to Union Station via the Yonge Street Railway Bridge. For the time being the bridge area has been cleared and is not in use as a construction staging area. Restoration of the bridge railing and concrete has been completed where it meets Backstage. The west face of the tower has been finished where it meets the bridge. A knockout panel has been installed where the future PATH connection will connect at the second floor of the building.
