Bramalea GO Station: GO partially closing platform 4, starting July 25



Metrolinx continues a project to upgrade Bramalea GO Station as part of the GO Expansion Program.


Starting Monday, June 25, GO Transit is closing part of platform 4 (the south platform) between the west-side elevator and the east end of the platform. Contractors are using this space to complete electrical work for expanding platform 4.

If you arrive at the station from the south side, look for information on signs to guide you to the open portion of platform 4 to get to the west tunnel and platform 3 (the north platform) to board your train. If you arrive at the station from the south side and need to board a bus, look for information on signs to guide you to the open portion of platform 4 to get to the west tunnel and platform 3, and use the station building tunnel (the east tunnel) to get to the station building and bus platforms.

If you arrive at the station from the north side, use the station building tunnel (the east tunnel) to get to platform 3 (the north platform) to board your train.

Since Thursday, June 9, GO has opened permanent bus platforms behind the station building for GO and Brampton Transit buses.


Also Thursday, June 9, contractors started the next phase of construction at the station. The new work zone blocks the Steeles Avenue East access and the passenger pick-up and drop off area (or “kiss and ride”) north of the station building.

You can access the north side of the station from Bramalea Road and the parking garage or you can follow a detour path to get to the south-side parking lot from Advance Boulevard. The sidewalk from Bramalea Road to the parking garage remains available for pedestrians.

Use the south-side Kiss and ride which has six available lanes. Contractors have blocked two lanes of this kiss and ride to create space for construction equipment they are using for work to expand the south platform.

The work zone also restricts traffic lanes on Steeles, while crews repair curbs and the island on the road.

During the closure of the Steeles access, Brampton Transit is detouring its buses as they operate through the new terminal.
