Transit Toronto reader Robert Wightman has been keeping us in the loop about GO Transit’s ongoing construction at Brampton GO Station. Robert visited the station last Friday, February 5 to see what the contractors were up to that required the City of Brampton to close Railroad Street again — and also update us about what was going on.

On Friday, contractors blocked the street with a crane that was swinging in preformed concrete slabs and curbs to extend the south platform farther east. They put in about 21 metres (70 feet) of concrete curbs and the edge of the accessible platform.

The contractors have also installed most of the remaining windows on the buildings for the elevators and enclosed stairs on the south side and the elevator on the north side. Robert says that “They are certainly moving faster than before. They won’t be done by the end of February but it is starting to look like they will, eventually, finish.”
