ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Quote:King Street Grade Separation, in Kitchener work will begin starting on June 8 on King from Moore to Victoria to build the King Street Grade Separation. For this work, King West between Moore and Victoria South will be fully closed for up to 18 months. Initial activities include track reconfiguration at the Go Transit Layover Facility near Park and relocation of the existing track on King West. Beginning mid to late June, while we reconfigure the track at the Go Transit Layover Facility, Park will be closed for approximately three (3) weeks at the existing CN/ Go Transit railway track.

Looks like the north-south routes are going to get more congested for a few weeks at the beginning of the grade separation.  I'm guessing GRT routes will go Park > Glasgow > Belmont > Victoria as the detour.

I'm also curious if/when they'll have to realign / regrade the Huron spur through all of this too in order to fit the new grade of the mainline.
