THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT broke ground on GO Transit’s Bowmanville Extension. The project will
extend the Lakeshore East GO line 18.7 kilometres
into Durham Region, accommodating 17,000 daily
trips and 4.9 million boardings annually by 2041.
The 昀椀rst phase of construction includes
rebuilding and modifying bridges along
the corridor, relocating utilities and making
improvements at the Durham College Oshawa
GO Station and the adjacent VIA Rail building.
Early works began in spring 2025 and included
tree clearing, geotechnical investigations along
the corridor and the installation of a new
watermain in Oshawa. Four stations are planned
along the Bowmanville Extension at Thornton’s
Corners East, Ritson Road, Courtice and
Bowmanville.
“Awarding the major construction contract for
the Bowmanville Extension moves us one step
closer to providing GO Train service to more
people across Durham Region,” said Michael
Lindsay, president and CEO of Metrolinx.
