The approved business case for GO Expansion outlines the performance objectives for the Barrie Corridor as two-way, all-day fifteen-minute service between Union Station and Allandale Waterfront GO Station in Barrie. In September 2017, an Environmental Assessment (EA) was approved to expand rail service by adding a second track along the corridor. The enabling works to reach the new service requirements were split into geographic areas and will be delivered using separate contracts. This Contract is to connect the gaps in the second track from the previous contracts and install signal infrastructure between from mile 16.25 (Langstaff Road) to mile 19.00 (Teston Road) on the Newmarket subdivision.
