For the past two weekends, we closed the Lakeshore West and Barrie lines to complete important work that will support faster, more frequent GO service.

On the Lakeshore West Line, crews prepared the east platforms at Long Branch GO for construction and began temporary platform widening for upgrades at Oakville GO. As part of the Burloak Drive Grade Separation, crews shifted the detour tracks onto the newly constructed rail bridge, and work at Exhibition Station for the Ontario Line concourse continued.

On the Barrie Line, crews continued preparing for a future second track. This included noise wall installation and grading to create more room within the rail corridor. Work was also carried out at King City GO, Aurora GO, and the future Bloor-Lansdowne GO.

Weekend closures give crews extended time to complete larger tasks. We know this work can be disruptive, and we thank customers and communities for their continued patience.

Match day prep is underway at Exhibition GO Station.

Here's how we're getting the stop ready for the world's largest soccer event to keep every trip safe, smooth and easy.
