The Kitchener Central Transit Hub will connect residents and visitors across the Toronto-Waterloo innovation corridor. The new transit hub will provide access to Grand River Transit light rail and bus service, GO Transit rail and bus service, VIA rail and future inter-city bus services. The new hub will integrate active transportation options with separated cycling and pedestrian paths and will include transit priority lanes.
The project will involve constructing a new transit terminal in downtown Kitchener, with bus bays for conventional and paratransit service, bicycle parking and a foot path connecting the transit hub.
The KCTH will spur new residential and commercial investment though better access to public transportation. It will also support sustainable transportation options for residents and visitors to Waterloo Region.

Planned construction
Duke Street Construction
Starting May 11, 2026, construction work will take place on Duke Street between Victoria Street and Wellington Street North. This work will be completed by Avertex Utility Solutions as part of the ongoing Kitchener Central Transit Hub project.
Construction will take place 24 hours a day, with overnight work expected to continue until May 17. Duke Street will be closed to vehicle traffic between Victoria Street and Wellington Street North during this time.
Once the overnight work is complete, Duke Street will remain closed during the day until May 29, with road access reopening in the evenings.
Residents living nearby may notice higher noise levels than usual, especially overnight during the first phase of work. Crews will make every effort to limit noise and reduce disruptions wherever possible.
Questions about this work can be directed to Avertex’s Smithville Branch at 905-957-0550.
