GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

It will be interesting to see if Woodbine is a faster construction as a result of removing the operating trains.

One would think it ought to be. But that is not typical ML to date.

How long did Mount Dennis take before work slowed down as the Line 5 opening date kept slipping? They built a diversion around the first two platforms too

Hey guys do we have any word on the Guelph sub works, Acton, Guelph second platform works?

Did they just kick the can down a couple years?

Or anything new on the Kitchener capacity increase project, flyover, etc?

On a Kitchener train I noticed some structures coming up at what I believe was the Heritage layover, unless I was mistaken. So work seems to be progressing decently there.

I can't remember what it's called, but someone here posts when it's available the GO capital works procurement chart. I can't recall when the last one was posted. Maybe @Northern Light or @crs1026 remember.

No timeline is given but the grade separation for KI and Guelph second tracks are listed as the next thing to be built on the KI corridor.

These projects seem to be bogged down in procurement. Every time an outlook is issued, the tender dates have slipped. Here is the latest from late last year. The dates shown are RFP publication dates, meaning shovels will not hit the ground for even longer.

Yeah, the Heritage Road layover is making good progress. That’s essential before work can be done to end the slow zone through Georgetown (with the yard there being transformed into a proper through station) and I imagine the CN-GO grade separation will follow as well.

I hope that work is quickly started once Heritage opens.
 
When did GO personal at stations been rebuilt with only haft of the platform open started to use the hand paddle like Europe to inform the train crews that they can close the doors and depart???

I noticed this today shooting Long Branch GO station and it wasn't in use back in Nov and Dec 2025 when I was at the station. I guess this is why the train sat longer than normal compared to the past. Haven't seen this at other haft platform station as well.

More up on my site

The trail has been reopen under the new bridges

The first bridge I seen this type of bracing used on it.

Tracks 1 & 2 are sitting on pedistool due the smaller depth of the new bridges compared to what was there before. They will be encase in concrete. Never noticed pedistool while shooting but noticed them when I worked on the photos.

They had a number of close calls in the fall, so they added staff to supervise loading and unloading on the platforms around that time.

I noticed that.

In the past there were only two or three if I recall correctly but 5 or 6 this time. It was the paddle that got me as its the first I have seen in NA. Very common or used to be in Europe and not found in a lot of heavy volume main stations in 2022. Wounder who at ML decided to use the paddle and will come standard for future station haft platforms?
