Metrolinx and its contractors continue to upgrade infrastructure in the Union Station Rail Corridor, as part of the GO Expansion Program.
Metrolinx has been removing and relocating infrastructure on the south side of the rail corridor east of Union Station and reinforcing the corridor to support widening the rail bridges that pass over Lower Jarvis and Lower Sherbourne streets. This will allow it to install for two more sections of track and increase transit capacity, offer a more efficient and reliable service with faster trains and enable it to electrify the corridor in the future.
