Some minor track closures expected as work on Long Branch GO digs in

April 6, 2025 by Toronto Newswire

Metrolinx says there will be minor track closures over the April 11 to 14 weekend due to overnight track work on the Long Branch GO.

The railway company said crews will be removing track, digging trenches for utilities and then reinstalling track.

It said crews will also be installing mechanical and electrical utilities on the south platforms and crossing these utilities under Track 3. The company in a Construction Notice said on April 12 and 13 GO Trains will operate on an hourly schedule on the Lakeshore West railway corridor.

“Residents should expect some noise, along with vibration, dust and site lighting,” the notice state, adding staff will minimize disturbances by reducing the idling of non-essential equipment and point away work lights from residential windows.

Work will start at 10 p.m. on April 11 and be completed at 5 a.m. on April 14.

Metrolinx said it is working on delivering more GO service across the network including every 15 minutes on the Lakeshore West Rail Corridor. It said major improvements are also being made to the Long Branch GO Station, on Brow Drive.
