What type of construction work is happening?  

During the closure, crews are conducting track improvements as part of GO Expansion including installing crossover switches, new track panels, replacing ballast, track surfacing, track drainage, welding and destressing. The closure also allows us to make progress on the future Ontario Line subway, with crews carrying out necessary utility work in Toronto’s east end. The Ontario Line will make it faster and easier to travel within Toronto and beyond, adding 15 stops and more than 40 connections to other transit, including GO train, subway, LRT, streetcar and bus lines.  

Metrolinx is making improvements today to bring you even more service in the future. Lakeshore East serves many communities in Toronto and is the second busiest GO line.

Whether you are traveling to work or visiting friends and family – we’re committed to getting you there better, faster, easier.

Lakeshore East GO Expansion builds on what we have today paves the way for quieter, faster, and more efficient GO train service.

To keep these plans on track, we sometimes work overnight and on weekends, building and updating rail infrastructure, renovating GO stations, building new train platforms and more. Learn more about GO Expansion.

We aim to provide you with plenty of notice when we need to adjust service for construction activity. Please plan your trip in advance.
