ABOUT THE COVER
In January, crews completed a full replacement of the rail bridge over Etobicoke Creek along GO Transit’s Lakeshore
West Line. This bridge, just west of Long Branch GO Station, is more than 100-years-old and work has been
underway for months to upgrade it to support future expansion of the rail corridor.
