The Ontario Government has announced the selection of AtkinsRéalis, Bird Construction and Hatch Ltd. for the delivery of the province’s new East harbour Transit Hub.
The new hub, which is expected to support over 50,000 local jobs, will connect transit users across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) to both the GO Transit and Ontario Line, with expectations to provide services for over 100,000 travellers per day.
Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation, said:The investments we are making in transit and infrastructure are helping fight gridlock and speed up commutes for millions of people across Ontario, including the 100,000 transit users who are expected to use the East Harbour Transit Hub every day.
By making these investments, we are also supporting thousands of good-paying jobs in Ontario’s construction sector at a time when, in the face of U.S. tariffs that are taking direct aim at Canada’s economy, it’s never been more important to help keep our workers on the job.
The new hub, located east of the Don Valley Parkway and south of Eastern Avenue, will serve commuters living in Riverdale, Riverside and Leslieville, forming part of the government’s plan to improve public transport across the GTHA.
