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.
