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.

We’re focused on improving the reliability of our service and providing better travel options by increasing train frequency during weekday rush hour service. More frequent service reduces wait times, helps ease crowding, and offers greater flexibility during peak periods.

Learn more about our GO Expansion program and the Ontario Line. 

Planned Service Adjustments

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

Metrolinx is prioritizing reliability and improving your options by offering trains every 10 minutes during rush hour, reducing wait times and naturally spreading demand to ease crowding and improve comfort.

Frequent all-stop service delivers key benefits during construction, especially with major works underway and the third track temporarily out of service.

All-stop service also avoids the bottlenecks and cascading delays that express trains would create without passing tracks, while giving you more flexibility to adjust your travel during peak periods.

Lakeshore East GO Expansion builds on what we have today, paving 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.

Ongoing Station Construction

We are always working to improve stations on our network. Find out if there are minor construction projects at your station.
