Major Construction Underway at Woodbine GO Station
October 2, 2026
Major construction is underway at Woodbine GO Station, marking another significant milestone in the Ontario government’s plan to provide two-way, all-day service across core segments of the GO Transit network. Crews are now building station platforms that will connect thousands of daily riders to the Kitchener GO Line, Union-Pearson (UP) Express and regional transit services across Toronto, York Region, Brampton and Mississauga. The project will create over 300 good-paying jobs and is part of Ontario’s historic investment of nearly $70 billion to deliver the largest transit expansion in North America.
“The start of major construction at Woodbine GO is great news for families and commuters in Etobicoke and along the entire Kitchener Line,” said Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario. “As part of our historic expansion of GO service across the Greater Golden Horseshoe, this new station will increase capacity, cut travel times and connect thousands more people to reliable, affordable transit.”
Woodbine GO Station will help families and commuters access jobs, housing and opportunities across one of Toronto’s fastest-growing areas, while putting riders steps away from major destinations, including Woodbine Racetrack. Construction builds on the site clearing, grading and excavation that began last year, as well as the completion of a temporary track separation and two access bridges that paved the way for platform construction.
Once complete, the new station will include island platforms serving GO Transit and UP Express trains, a bus loop connecting riders to local transit, dedicated GO parking, pedestrian bridges and fully accessible, barrier-free facilities. In addition to Woodbine Racetrack, the station will create new links between the UP Express, Kitchener GO train and Pearson International Airport, as well as local bus services including the TTC, MiWay, York Region Transit and Brampton Transit.
“Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government is investing nearly $70 billion to deliver the largest transit expansion in North America, cutting travel times, fighting gridlock and connecting more people to jobs, housing and opportunities across the province,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation. “Woodbine GO Station will make it faster and easier for Ontarians to get where they’re going, whether they’re travelling for work, school, entertainment or catching a flight at Pearson Airport.”
Ontario has invested over $15 billion to date into GO Expansion projects which will deliver faster, more frequent and more convenient service across the region. The province continues to make significant service upgrades along the Kitchener Line, including launching daily round trips between Toronto and Stratford, introducing the first-ever weekend service between Toronto and Kitchener and reaching an agreement-in-principle to acquire more than 20 kilometres of the Halton subdivision between Bramalea GO and Georgetown GO stations, supporting two-way, all-day service.
