Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Metrolinx chose Graham Commuter Rail Solutions (GCRS) as the preferred proponent to design, build and finance the Davenport Diamond Guideway, part of Metrolinx’s GO Expansion program. The $175 million Davenport Diamond Guideway project improves service by allowing GO Trains to travel above the Canadian Pacific (CP) tracks, as the guideway enables more trains to run on the corridor. It also improves local pedestrian and bike connections and improves service reliability. According to Metrolinx, “This project will reduce congestion and enable more pedestrian as well as cyclist connections by enabling GO Trains to seamlessly travel above existing traffic. The project is one of several that will significantly improve service on the Barrie GO Line in preparation for more frequent, two-way, all-day train service in the future.” Construction on the guideway continues while the detailed design for the Davenport Diamond Greenway is underway. The greenway will be a A diversion track allowed crews to build the guideway while maintaining GO Train service. (Metrolinx photo) 60 JUNE 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
