BURLINGTON, ON
Construction on the Burloak Grade Separation project is moving forward and with input from the community, we have adjusted our plans. A four-lane detour road will be built to maintain access along Burloak Drive to mitigate impacts to local residents, instead of the previously scheduled 14-month road closure.
This decision, made in partnership with the City of Burlington and the Town of Oakville, helps to minimize local construction impacts while ensuring critical work for more frequent two-way, all-day GO service on the Lakeshore West Line can continue.
Once completed, the new bridge – known as a grade separation – will allow vehicles to pass safely under the train tracks, enhancing pedestrian and motorist safety while allowing trains to pass over the area without interruption.
Minor preparation work will take place in the weeks ahead, with further updates to follow in the new year. During construction, traffic control measures will be implemented to manage traffic flow. Dates for implementation of the four-lane detour road will be shared as soon as they’re available.
This was obvious from the beginning.Who on earth plans these things to shut Down a very busy major artery for 14 months.Insane!
