What is Happening?

As part of the ongoing improvements at King City GO Station, crews working on behalf of Metrolinx will undertake a continuous work period from 10:00 p.m. on Friday, November 13, 2026, to 5:00 a.m. on Monday, November 16, 2026. Work will include grading, equipment and material movements, and the installation of high-security fencing, noise walls and electrical infrastructure. These activities are being completed during a weekend pause of Barrie Line train service to allow crews to safely access and work within the rail corridor. Continuous work is required to maximize the available track closure and efficiently advance construction. Work activities may occur in different areas of the corridor at different times.

Noise and Vibration

  • Residences and businesses in the area may experience noise and vibration caused by construction equipment related to this work.
  • Crews will take measures to minimize disruptions to the surrounding area wherever possible.
