Construction is now underway on the East Harbour Transit Hub’s main building, marking a major milestone for new interchange station serving Riverdale, Riverside and Leslieville communities.
Located immediately east of the Don Valley Parkway and south of Eastern Avenue, the East Harbour Transit Hub will connect to the Lakeshore East and Stouffville GO lines, as well as the future Ontario Line subway, which will offer more transit options, reduce commute times and ease congestion across the city.

This transformative addition to Toronto’s transit network is set to become the second busiest station after Union Station, reducing crowding there by up to 14 per cent — or 14,000 people — overall during peak travel times. When the station opens, riders could see trains arriving as frequently as every five minutes, projected to serve about 100,000 daily riders combined with Ontario Line users.
Since the start of construction in 2025, teams have excavated the site and prepared the area to support the weight of the station and trains running on tracks above. With the groundwork now complete, crews have started pouring concrete for the first foundations of the main building.
Work is also currently underway to widen the Eastern Avenue bridge to support six tracks – four for GO trains and two for the Ontario Line.
The East Harbour Transit Hub, part of the GO Expansion program, is a joint initiative of the Government of Canada, Province of Ontario, City of Toronto and Metrolinx.
In addition, the hub will be integrated into a 38-acre Transit Oriented Community that will bring new residential and commercial space.
