A proposed high-speed rail from Toronto to Quebec City may include tunnels under Montreal and Toronto, with costs up to $90 billion and a 2029–2030 start for the Montreal-Ottawa segment.
A proposed high-speed rail line between Toronto and Quebec City, managed by federal agency Alto, may include tunnels over 10 kilometers long beneath Montreal and possibly Toronto, according to January 2026 updates.
The project, part of a broader effort to modernize Canada’s rail network, aims to reduce travel times and boost capacity, with the first phase from Montreal to Ottawa scheduled to start in 2029 or 2030.
Tunneling in urban areas could raise costs, with estimates ranging from $60 billion to $90 billion, similar to past rail projects where underground construction drove expenses.
Final routes, funding, and design details remain under review, pending environmental assessments and public consultations.
