Caledonia^[2] is an LRT station under construction on the Toronto Transit Commission's Eglinton Crosstown line.^[3] It will be located a few blocks west of Caledonia Road on Eglinton Avenue. It is scheduled to open in 2020.

In May 2015, Metrolinx announced plans to add Caledonia as a future stop on the GO Transit Barrie line.^[4]^[5]

The station's headwalls were tunneled through in April 2014.^[6]^[7]^[8]

According to the York Guardian, the environmental assessment for the GO station is expected to be complete in early 2016, and the GO station portion won't open until the Eglinton Crosstown opens in 2020.^[9]

In a report to the TTC Board on 23 November 2015 it was recommended that stations on Line 5 Eglinton LRT should be given unique names.^[2]

TTC staff evaluated the initial report and the proposed names and provided feedback and recommendations. A primary TTC concern was to avoid replication and redundancy with existing TTC station names. The proposed names are unique and are not likely to be confused with existing station names.

Headwalls that will form the box of the stations have been installed at Keele Street and Caledonia Road, and work is under way on one at Dufferin Street. The TBMs go right through headwalls after they have been built, in order to ensure a tight seal, and the two at work in this area are now on either side of what will eventually be the Caledonia LRT station.

Digging 50 feet below street level, the 81-metre long TBMs nicknamed Dennis and Lea are currently located in the vicinity of Caledonia Road, one of 12 underground Crosstown stations planned for the route. They are expected to reach the Allen later this year, when they will be redeployed beyond Eglinton West subway station to continue the dig east towards Yonge Street.

The first of the two tunneling machines (dubbed Dennis) entered the ground June of 2013 and has made it to Caledonia Rd. from its starting point at Black Creek Dr. The other machine, Lea, is just behind.

The expected completion date for the station is 2020, to open at the same time as the new Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Metrolinx, a provincial agency in charge of both projects, is currently conducting an environmental assessment for the GO station, which is expected to be complete in early 2016.
