Abstract:
The Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit is a large-scale transit project in the Toronto, ON, Canada area. The completed project will not only contribute to significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by reducing reliance on car and bus transportation, but it also provided opportunities for further GHG emissions reductions during the construction process by using high-volume slag cement mixtures.
