The federal government is investing $6.3 million in a new Via Rail station in Windsor, Ont.
The station is to be built by the fall of 2011 near the existing site at the foot of Walker Road, a news release says.
The Walkerville station was built by Canadian National in the early 1960s and expanded by Via in 1982. The majority of the funding for the station replacing it will come from the federal economic action plan.
The project is linked to other work now under way or soon to start along the Quebec-Windsor corridor, the release said.
