Metrolinx is marking the start of construction on the Ontario Line subway project, beginning with upgrades at Exhibition Station.

Exhibition Station is significant because it will be one of the Ontario Line’s most popular transit hubs with connections to GO trains and TTC services.

Malcolm MacKay, Metrolinx sponsor for the project, says at the peak of rush hour, about 6,300 people will transfer between the Ontario Line, GO trains and TTC at Exhibition Station. 

MacKay says when it’s done, Exhibition Station will be completely enclosed, bringing GO and Ontario Line services under one roof. It will also have fully accessible paths between the different lines and platforms, making it quick and easy to transfer between trains. 

“The exciting work starting now is all about upgrading the existing Exhibition Station to keep people moving during major construction,” MacKay adds.

“Providing continued access to GO train services through new features like a temporary pedestrian bridge, new platforms, and new station entrances is critical for us.”
