What type of construction work is happening? 

GO service is expanding to serve you better, with more frequent service, more stations, cleaner technology and more connections. Metrolinx is transforming GO Transit to bring frequent two-way, all-day service to the Barrie Line, up to every 15 minutes, seven days a week, as well as access to new stations and transit connections.
