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

Late Saturday, February 12 and all day Sunday, February 13, 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.

This phase of Hurontario LRT construction near Port Credit GO Station can only take place when GO trains aren’t operating along the line.

GO buses along the 12 Niagara Falls / Burlington, 16 Hamilton / Toronto express and 18 Lakeshore West routes operate with regular schedules.

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, allowing the future LRT vehicles to move through the area without disrupting rail service.
