Lakeshore East Line Service Disruptions
- Starting the evening of September 23 until Sunday, September 25, there will be no train service on the Lakeshore East Line. Buses will replace some train service during this time. For more information, email [email protected]
Geotechnical Investigations and Demolition Work
- Starting September 2022, Crews will be conducting geo-technical investigations to verify the depth and location of existing infrastructure. Crews will also be conducting demolition at the platform and track level, to enable the construction of the new Platform 24 – 27 alignment and improvements. Overnight demolition work will occur over publicly used areas to limit customer exposure and risks. Daytime demolition work will occur in non-customer traffic areas. Work is expected to last for 8 weeks. For more information, email [email protected] or call 416-202-6911.
Track Slab Demolition
- From July 2022 to early 2023, platforms 24 to 27, including track slabs are being demolished to make way for excavation for the new south passenger concourse (which will span 325 meters from York to Bay Streets) and two new wider platforms that will be installed as part of USEP. Larger machinery will be required for this work, which may result in louder construction related noise during day-time hours. Residents and businesses near the work site can expect to hear noise caused by trucks and other equipment. Every effort will be made to minimize disruptions. Removals at concourse level will be inside closed hoarding to mitigate noise/dust. For more information, call 416-202-6911 or email [email protected].
Union Station Enhancement Project – Upcoming work
- Neighbours close to the Union Station East Rail Corridor, from Sherbourne to the Don Yard, will experience increased construction activity over the next several weeks. Beginning as early as mid-October and continuing into November, boreholes will be prepared as part of enabling works for USEP and additional East Track enhancements. More information will be provided as dates near.
Ontario Line Enabling Works Continue
- Work continues to progress on Ontario Line Enabling Works, as Metrolinx prepares for the future Ontario Line alignment. Crews have installed jersey barriers within Don Yard. Metrolinx’s contractor is performing continuous civil, track, signal and utility relocation works during the day and at night. These are key enabling construction activities for the future Ontario Line portal. Residents will be aware of excavators, vacuum truck, concrete trucks, boom trucks, dump trucks, track lighting and other machinery in the area.
Over the next few weeks, residents in the Corktown community will observe a mobilization of construction equipment, where activities of clearing, grubbing and construction fence installation will take place. This is in preparation for enabling works associated with the Ontario Line crossover into the Union Station East Rail Corridor footprint. More details will be shared in this space as we get closer to the work.
