BURLINGTON, ON
Starting on Friday, May 22, until Monday, June 1, 2026, Burloak Drive between Harvester/Wyecroft Roads and Prince William Drive/Superior Court intersections will be temporarily closed to accommodate work on the Burloak Drive Grade Separation project.
This work will bring the train tracks into service on the newly built rail bridge, with construction of the new roadway under the rail bridge to continue following the closure.
The project is being delivered 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 grade separation – known as a rail-over-road underpass – will enhance safety for the community by allowing trains to pass through the area without disrupting vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
What locals can expect during this time:
- From May 22 at 12:01am until June 1 at 6:00 am, there will be a full road closure of Burloak Drive from Harvester/Wyecroft Road to Prince William Drive/Superior Court.
- The sidewalk and bike lane will also be closed. Where appropriate, signage will direct local traffic along recommended detour routes.
During the road closure, crews will also relocate and pave the at-grade railway crossing on the Burloak detour road and install storm sewers south of the Burloak and Harvester Dr./Wyecroft Dr. intersection. Following the closure, crews will continue construction work on the underpass for the grade separation project.
