Scheduled for completion late in 1977; the 6.17-mile; $155 million line will stretch from just north of Wilson Ave. to the Bloor-Danforth subway's St. George station. It was started in spring of 1974. Miners work like hell; said TTC official. It's go; go; go all the time. The tunnels are nearly 100 feet deep.
