TORONTO — The Ontario government has started construction on the Caledonia GO Station in Toronto.
Grascan Construction Ltd. has been awarded the contract to build the station, which will connect the Barrie Line to TTC bus service and the future Line 5 Eglinton.
Located on Eglinton Avenue just west of Caledonia Road, the station will feature heated platform shelters, bicycle racks and a pedestrian tunnel connecting the north end of the platform to Bowie Avenue and the York Beltline Trail, explains a release.
The Caledonia GO Station is part of the GO Expansion program to deliver two-way, all-day service on GO Transit’s busiest rail routes.
Ontario has invested more than $13 billion to build and upgrade GO Transit stations and add more track, generating the equivalent of 8,300 jobs annually, the release adds.
