A spokesperson for Metrolinx is alerting those headed to and away from Toronto this weekend to be prepared for delays due to a long list of disruptions around the Golden Horseshoe.
Closures on the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) and Gardiner Expressway, construction on the Barrie GO Line, hourly service on the Lakeshore West GO Line and partial closures of the TTC’s subway are at the forefront of the issues requiring some patience.
“Whether you’re driving or planning on taking transit, our number one message to travellers this weekend: please give yourself plenty of extra time to safely get to your destination,” said Anne Marie Aikins with Metrolinx.
Lakeshore West GO Trains are operating June 4 and 5 on an hourly basis to aid a construction project at Exhibition GO Station. The nixing of some routes likely will result in more passengers and train delays on the Niagara–Hamilton–Union route.
