I wouldn't be surprised if no provisions is being made for eventual southbound service. If there's one thing we love to do in this city it's complete projects piecemeal

GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)
- Thread starter drum118
- Start date

To add onto this point, since they do schedule many projects along the line to take advantage of the same closures, they need to schedule the closures far in advance and if a closure date gets changed or cancelled, it can add a huge amount of delay and cost to the projects that were planning to use it.
I hope that Metrolinx provides cost and delay estimates to politicians when they ask for closures to be cancelled or rescheduled like what happened this past weekend.

All I had to do was wait for some documents to be uploaded.
While LSE is closed on Nov 15-16 for what I'm assuming to be work related to the East Harbour area there will be two sets of track replacements on the LSE corridor...and hopefully some additional work on the ST line (maintenance or corridor work for expansion).

The LSE corridor between Woodbine and Warden is getting some grading and surfacing work completed during the Nov 15-16 closure as well.
The bi-weekly LSE corridor update states utility relocations will be occurring near East Harbour and the Leslieville area of the corridor as well.
...this is shaping up to be a busy weekend.

Direct marine-to-rail shipping, gotta love it. I'm struggling to find definitive matches, but this looks like it's being unloaded at Pier 14.

Some glimpses of the construction work on the Kitchener Line in Toronto recently and the reason UP and GO trains weren't running on the line.

If Metrolinx is going to keep adding stops within the Toronto stretch of the Kitchener line, then they seriously need to add more express service trains between Bramalea and Union. Is this what the fourth track on the Kitchener line is suppose to accomplish?

I must admit I was surprised to see this at Guelph Central Station.

Girder or some kind of steel beam erected along the south side of the Etobicoke Creek bridge.

This is for a mobile overhead crane that will be used to remove the old bridge truss segments and replace them with new ones.
A similar system was set up over the Credit River with the third bridge was built almost 20 years ago - there are photos and videos of the installation floating around online.

The community email that went out, which was shared in the GO Service Thread, said there will be construction on the Stouffville line between Sheppard and the 401, which suggests the West Highland Creek area. There will also be work completed on the Finch grade separation.

Over the next decade, we’re changing transit to make it better: Faster travel. Seamless connections.

On the Stouffville Line, crews will carry out several construction activities between Sheppard Avenue East and Highway 401. The work includes signal upgrades near Highland Creek and the construction of new retaining walls in the area.
In addition, crews will prepare the Finch Avenue East underpass project site for the construction of the future detour route.
There is a significant amount of work occurring on the LSE corridor this weekend too. Utility relocations and track maintenance to prepare for 3rd and 4th tracks in the future.
