Bowmanville Extension Construction Notice

Metrolinx is committed to deliver more rail service to communities beyond Oshawa as quickly as we can and to do so with an all-day service. With GO expansion on the Lakeshore East line, we’re bringing 15-minute two-way service between Union Station and Oshawa. Faster, more frequent travel is coming your way. Forget the car – welcome to your future.

What Work is Taking Place? Along the CP-owned corridor there will be geo-technical investigative work underway beginning in September. This work is to collect information for the future Bowmanville Extension Project between Oshawa GO Station and Regional Road #57 in Bowmanville. The geo-technical work is necessary preliminary works in advance of Bowmanville Expansion construction. This work will be ongoing for a few months.

More details will be communicated as this work progresses.

Information as of: August 26, 2020

What to Expect This geo-technical work requires the drilling of boreholes and testing soil conditions for the future construction of corridor infrastructure. This work will take place during day time hours. Residents can expect to see a small drill rig, trucks, and a work crew working within or near the rail corridor. Typical construction impacts can be expected, such as noise, vibration, dust.
