Next phase of GO expansion work will begin next week in downtown Newmarket
Created: Friday, January 17, 2025
Beginning next week, Metrolinx will continue their ongoing utility relocation work downtown near Timothy Street and Doug Duncan Drive as part of the GO Train Expansion Utility Relocation Project for Barrie GO line. Metrolinx will continue to take the overhead utility lines and transfer
them underground.
This phase of work will be ongoing until the end of March. General working hours are Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. This work will only take place on weekdays.
The Town will be working closely with Metrolinx to help limit interruptions to the community as much as possible. Please see below for highlights of what can be expected:
The Town submitted requests to Metrolinx to schedule this work during shoulder season, to reduce road and parking closures as much as possible and to minimize the impact on the area and community events in the downtown.
