What's Changing
Exhibition GO Construction Map
Construction on the south platform (Platform 4) is progressing and the previously closed portion has reopened. We have completed curb work on the platform as well as foundation work for the new temporary pedestrian bridge. Work continues to extend Platform 4 further east to make space for future Ontario Line construction.
Next up is structural work which is taking place on the south platform to build the new temporary pedestrian bridge, heated shelters to protect you from the weather, and electrical rooms to provide important communication services to the platform.
Here's what you need to know:
Platform 1 access:
- Please use extra care and spread out on the north platform (Platform 1). The west side of Platform 1 is partially closed while we prepare to shift tracks to align to new platforms in the future.
Platform 4 access:
- All train doors open again when arriving at Exhibition GO Station.
- Please use extra care and spread out on Platform 4. A fence separates the open portion of the platform from the closed construction area.
Elevators remain out of service:
- The elevators connecting the north and south platforms (Platform 1 and 4) are out of service.
- If you have accessibility needs, Dignity Transportation shuttle service is available to transport you between the north and south sides of the station.
- Please follow the signs to access the shuttle service. The shuttle will be located on Atlantic Avenue for access to Platform 1 (the north platform) and Manitoba Drive for access to Platform 4 (the south platform).
- To request Dignity Transportation shuttle service in advance, call GO Transit at 416-869-3200 or 1-888-438-6646 (toll free). Requests must be made 48 hours in advance of the time of travel.
- We expect the elevator upgrades to be complete and back in service later this spring.
How You'll Benefit
GO Expansion will increase the frequency and number of GO trains across the rail network, reduce congestion and connect a growing region with fast, reliable transit options to get you where you need to go. We’re preparing your station for GO Expansion by making it easier to access your station. Here’s what we have planned for you, once preliminary work is complete:
- Temporary entrance building on the north side of the station including tunnel connection as well as an elevator and stairs to train platforms
- Permanent entrance and exit building at Atlantic Avenue
- Extended north and south platforms
- A temporary pedestrian bridge between the north and south sides of the station
- An upgraded elevator at the south side of the station
