Transit riders and drivers could run into lane closures, detours and temporary bus stops downtown in place for Brampton’s multi-million dollar Riverwalk and construction on the Downtown Brampton Transit Hub project.

There is already a lane closure in place for construction on the Riverwalk project, with one lane temporarily closed on Scott Street between Church Street and the Scott Street Bridge over Etobicoke Creek.

That closure will last until April 1, as crews build a temporary alternate channel to safely reroute Etobicoke Creek while the enhanced flood protection channel is built.

But there’s more construction slated to start in downtown Brampton as part of the Downtown Brampton Transit Hub project.

The parking garage at 8 Nelson St. W. is undergoing renovations, with “critical underground parking garage repairs” starting on March 30.

“Construction will result in temporary detours and the closure of the north platform of the Downtown Transit Terminal,” the city says.

The construction will lead to several Brampton Transit and GO Transit bus routes moving to temporary on-street bus stops:

Route 561 Züm Queen West Westbound – Temporary Stop on George Street, south of Nelson Street.
Route 1/1A Queen Westbound – Temporary Stop on George Street, south of Nelson Street.
Route 52 McMurchy – Temporary Stop on George Street, north of Nelson Street.
GO Transit Bus Stop – Route 31/33 towards Toronto – Temporary Stop on Main Street, north of Nelson Street.
GO Transit Bus Stop – Route 31/33 towards Guelph – Temporary Stop on Main Street, north of Theatre Lane (at Church Street).
GO Transit Bus Stop – Route 37 towards Guelph – Temporary Stop on Main Street, north of Theatre Lane (at Church Street).

The South Platform at the Downtown Transit Terminal will stay open, and GO Transit train platforms will not be impacted.

Construction is expected to wrap with the platform reopened “in late summer 2026,” the city says.

Transit riders needing assistance can visit the customer service counter inside the terminal or call 905-874-2999. For more route and schedule information or to plan your trip on Brampton Transit, visit www.bramptontransit.com.

Starting Monday, March 30, the Downtown Transit Terminal North Platform will close due to repairs at the 8 Nelson Square parking garage.

The South Platform and Customer Service Counter will remain open.
