Confederation GO Station is a planned train station to be built by Metrolinx in the community of Stoney Creek in east Hamilton, Ontario on the Canadian National Railway line.
Contents
The station is named for Confederation Park, nearby on Lake Ontario.
The station is planned as part of the anticipated expansion of GO Transit's Lakeshore West line service to Niagara Falls. On May 26, 2015, the Government of Ontario announced that service would be extended to the station. Construction is expected to begin in 2017, with the line completed in 2019.
Construction
CN Rail is managing the replacement of the Centennial Parkway rail bridge, in partnership with the City of Hamilton and GO Transit. The 84-year-old rail bridge is being demolished and a new one erected. This will add an extra track and platform for expected GO Transit service and reconstruct and widen the road. The bridge work is expected to be completed before the 2015 Pan American Games.
It is estimated that it will cost $150 million to extend GO Train service the 10 kilometres beyond the new West Harbour GO Station to Stoney Creek.
