Construction has officially started on the Woodbine GO Station.

The move, says the Ontario government, marks a significant milestone in its plan to provide two-way, all-day service across core segments of the GO Transit network. Woodbine Entertainment Group is providing up to $170 million to support the construction.

“The new Woodbine GO Station is going to be a gamechanger for Etobicoke and for commuters coming in from across the Greater Golden Horseshoe,” said Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario. “The investments we are making in Woodbine GO and in two-way, all-day GO service across the province will keep workers on the job in the face of tariffs and economic uncertainty and will help commuters get around faster and more conveniently in one of Ontario’s fastest growing regions.”

Once complete, the station, which is located on the Kitchener Line, will be one of the busiest stations across the GO network, allowing for increased capacity and future expansion improvements on the Kitchener Line.

The new station will replace the nearby Etobicoke North GO Station, which lacks the capacity to accommodate future growth along the line. It will provide increased capacity and feature new rail platforms, accessible facilities, pedestrian bridges, dedicated parking, a passenger pick-up and drop-off area, a bus loop and a passenger waiting area for seamless transfers. The station will also create new links between the Union Pearson Express, Kitchener GO train and Pearson International Airport, as well as local bus services including the TTC, MiWay, York Regional Transit and Brampton Transit.
