Metrolinx begins geotechnical investigations for Brampton transit extension
What happened
Metrolinx has started geotechnical investigations in Brampton to extend the Hazel McCallion Line into downtown. Crews are drilling boreholes along Main Street and surrounding areas to gather information on ground conditions for the three-kilometre extension. The extension will run along Hurontario Street, connecting Port Credit GO Station in Mississauga to the Brampton Gateway Terminal, and will include an underground station.

Why it matters
The project is part of a larger transit extension connecting Scarborough to Mississauga. The geotechnical work is a critical step for Metrolinx to understand soil conditions and determine the equipment needed for the job. Metrolinx noted that the construction could be disruptive to local businesses and communities in Brampton.
A transit extension project is underway, connecting Scarborough to Mississauga, and offering connections to GO Transit and MiWay.
