Metrolinx and its contractors continue construction of the Hurontario light rail transit line in Mississauga and Brampton.

Saturday, January 8, GO Transit is temporarily replacing trains with buses along the 01 Lakeshore West line to accommodate construction of the light rail transit line near Port Credit GO Station. Buses replace trains between Oakville GO Station and Union Station. The buses stop only at Clarkson and Port Credit GO stations. GO isn’t operating buses or trains to and from Long Branch, Mimico and Exhibition GO stations.

Trains operate only between West Harbour or Aldershot GO Stations and Oakville.

LRT construction at Port Credit GO Station previously affected GO train service late Thursday, January 6.

Expect the construction project to similarly affect trains during early January:

• late Thursday, January 13; and
• late Tuesday, January 18 until late Friday, January 21.

Metrolinx is building a “push box” at Port Credit GO Station to support the construction of the LRT infrastructure under the GO tracks. The push box is a large, hollow concrete box that crews will push under the train tracks to create a tunnel under the rail tracks, allowing the future LRT vehicles to move without disrupting rail service.
