Project Overview We’re making improvements today to bring you even more service in the future. Preparatory early works are getting underway on the Lakeshore East Rail Corridor Expansion project in Toronto. This project covers the area between Pape Avenue and Kennedy Road. Completing this work will enable the future addition of a fourth track on the Lakeshore East line. The new fourth track will contribute to passenger journey time improvements for all transit trips on the Lakeshore East Corridor, improve service reliability and deliver increased service benefits within the City of Toronto. December 2020 IMPROVEMENTS • Grading, retaining walls and construction of a new culvert to accommodate the fourth track. • Danforth Avenue, Warden Avenue and Woodbine Avenue bridge expansions to accommodate the fourth track. BENEFITS • By building on what we have today, we can improve infrastructure that will deliver faster, two-way, all-day, 15-minute service. This project is part of GO Expansion and supports a larger, system-wide plan to improve GO rail service on core segments of the network. WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW • Construction between Pape Avenue and Wolcott Avenue begins first. Our constructor will start with tree clearing and retaining walls. Work will be carried out during the day and some overnight work will be required due to safety and schedule requirements. • Other upcoming works include utility relocations, grading, storm water management infrastructure, bridge widening and rehabilitation at Woodbine, Warden and Danforth bridges and the construction of a new culvert. • Work between Wolcott Avenue and Kennedy Road will begin spring 2021, which will Include grading and construction of new retaining walls.
