GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

[ShonTron]

Do we have an updated on the Barrie Line?

The poorly written equivalent of the “any updates” in a projects forum.

Be patient, a lot of people here do like posting useful content.

Another day, another UTer writing an unnecessarily rude response.

Thanks to @reinventingthewheel over on the Finch LRT pages for highlighting Woodbines proposed timeline for the Woodbine GO Station. I don't know how construction of a relatively simple two-island station can last 4.5 years but this is their estimate - shrug.

Eglinton GO - March 26

Update on the foundations that were poured at the old Platform 1 site (Exhibition GO). Black tarp looking material is now covering and orange markings written on the retaining wall all the way east and west. Looks to me that track 2 will move here soon.

Also, the concrete footpath from the sidewalk at Atlantic Ave to the north stairs of the ped bridge has been poured. I'm guessing the building to the immediate south of the stairwell is where the tunnel extension will lead up to. Not sure what the streetcar looking shelter is in the foreground. I think once the new ped bridge opens that the connection from the bottom of Atlantic Ave to Platform 1 will be closed and all traffic will have to use the bridge to access all GO platforms. Speaking of which, the new bridge is expected to open in mid-April, as per staff at the Ontario Line open house last month.

Yes. I digitally add tags to all my photos.

Apologies for the spelling error.

Kotsy is one of Toronto's most notorious graffiti artists. Police have been trying to catch him in the act for years.

Yes. I digitally add tags to all my photos.

And trying to find them is like a game of Where's Waldo. Both intriguing and frustrating at the same time.

Warden and Danforth Avenue - March 28

A couple pictures from the south platform at Guelph Central. Presto machines are installed. They even relocated the payphone. Kiddo and I tried to make a local call, but it didn't work

Current progress of the Hamilton West Harbour eastern exit track project. Taken yesterday, facing east (station is behind me).

A month later, not much (visible) progress, though there was a small crew doing some work east of the Mary Street bridge.

Last update I’ve seen is a ‘late 2024 completion’, anyone know if that’s been updated?

I’m hoping it will be done for the fall schedule release.

Well the good news is that it looks track-ready. What might slow it down is 1) the date CN has in mind for cutting it into their mainline and 2) the signalling commissioning date. I would assume that both those events are already scheduled and even if track laying happens tomorrow, those dates would not change. That’s just how the Class 1s operate!

What is the work happening at the Warden and Danforth bridge? Its not on the Ontario line, so are they just adding another track on the north side for bypass purposes?
