The Highway 407 station and the contiguous bus terminal were designed as a transport centre along the north-west segment of the Yonge-University line of the TTC. The second central component of the project was the North tunnels, involving the building of two twin parallel tunnels 6 m in diameter and 3.85 km long, excavated with a tunnel boring machine.

In an additional supplement, FCC Construcción also appears with the awarded Almonte viaduct as Global Best Projects 2017 in the bridges category.
