The Early Works portion of the GO Expansion project is one of
three blocks of works to be done to accommodate two-way, allday transit throughout the GTHA corridor. According to the Fall
2018 business case, this work represents: “including both oncorridor and off-corridor civil works such as new track, station
improvements, grade separations and utility relocations, that
are either enabling infrastructure for future service increases,
needed state of good repair improvements or components that
can be delivered early, to reduce schedule risk for the program.”
There are over 50 individual projects included in the early
works program, including 40 smaller projects delivered as Design-Build or Design-Bid-Build, along with 12 larger projects
delivered as Build-Finance and Design-Build-Finance. The latter
includes the Davenport Diamond Rail Grade Separation Project,
for which the winning bidder was selected in July 2019, and the
Highway 401 Rail Tunnel, which began construction in March
2019, and the Stouffville Corridor Stations Improvement project.
The program also includes the Union Station Enhancement
project, which will see construction of a new South Concourse,
track expansion east of the station and replacement of the
90-year-old signaling system with new state-of-the-art signals,
communications, power supply, CCTV, and SCADA systems.
