Starting March 30, 2026, commuters using the Guelph Central GO Station will need to find new ways to get to the platforms as a major road closure begins in Guelph, Ontario. The City of Guelph is closing Wyndham Street between Wellington Street East and Macdonell Street to replace aging water pipes and sewer systems that are over 100 years old.
Drop-off locations at the station will be affected by the work until the end of July 2026. While the Wyndham Street entrance is closed, the south entrance off Farquhar Street will stay open for drivers, and people walking can still reach the station by using Macdonell Street or Carden Street.
The $24 million project is being managed by the City of Guelph to improve local roads and sidewalks. Along with the new underground pipes, the city will also be adding new bike lanes and streetscaping as part of a long-term plan to fix downtown streets.
This construction is happening at the same time as a separate project by Metrolinx to expand the station. Workers are building a new south platform and making the north platform longer to allow for more frequent train service on the Kitchener Line in the future.
Several local bus routes will also be detoured because of the closed roads. Guelph Transit expects that routes 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 20 will all have to take different paths around the downtown core until the work is finished.
