Construction of a new station at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport is set to begin.

The Union Pearson Express station will complete a new 3 km railway line between the airport’s Terminal 1 and the existing Kitchener GO Train corridor to Union Station.

The station, which will be part of the Metrolinx-owned Union Pearson Express link, is due to be completed in time for the 2015 Pan/Parapan Am Games.

Glen Murray, Minister of Infrastructure and Minister of Transportation, said: “Construction is on track to build the Union Pearson Express in time for the 2015 Pan/ParaPan American Games.

“It will provide high-quality service that will transform the way we travel to and from the airport, removing an estimated 1.2 million car trips from Ontario roads in its first year of operation alone.”
