Metrolinx upgrades Toronto bridge as part of GO Transit expansion work

July 13, 2020
The Rogers Road Bridge rehabilitation project will benefit the community in the short term and is also part of unlocking long term transit plans.

Metrolinx has been working on major improvements to a northwest Toronto bridge to help with transit improvements.

Over the past year, Metrolinx has been renovating the rail corridor bridge that crosses over Rogers Road – just north of Toronto’s Junction neighborhood.

Construction crews recently completed the project after 13 months of work on both the road and track level to repair the actual steel and concrete structures. All the work is to support the future installation of a second track and ultimately bring more GO train service on the Barrie GO corridor as part of the GO Expansion project.

The Rogers Road bridge project is one piece of the bigger GO Expansion puzzle, which involves updating and modernizing GO infrastructure from Hamilton, to Barrie, to Oshawa. This work allows Metrolinx to continue incrementally increasing GO train service for people across the region.
