BURLINGTON, ON

To support construction of a new train bridge that will increase GO Train service on the Lakeshore West Line, there will be a full closure of Burloak Drive for 10 days beginning this Friday, June 14 until Monday, June 24, 2024.

When completed – this is what drivers and pedestrians can look forward to.

This work is being completed in collaboration with the City of Burlington and the Town of Oakville and is vital to supporting more frequent two-way, all-day GO service for customers on the Lakeshore West Line.

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.

What locals can expect:

• The closure will take place on Burloak Drive from Harvester / Wyecroft Road to Prince William Drive / Superior Court. The sidewalk and bicycle lane will also be closed.
• The road closure will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Friday June 14. This will be a complete closure except from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday (June 17-21) when it will be open for southbound traffic only to alleviate peak afternoon traffic.
• The intersection of Burloak Drive and Prince William Drive will remain open to traffic during the closure.
• To ensure continued access to local businesses, two temporary lanes will be maintained, one in each direction, from Prince William Drive to the plaza at 700-728 Burloak Drive.

This kind of experience will come to an end.

During construction, traffic control measures will be implemented to help manage traffic.
