    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    It does sound like Pearson is embarking on expansion, including claims that it will have shovels in the ground in 2025 based on their website, but it's pretty unclear what exactly that means. The work they are starting is on their "Accelerator" program which "has begun and we are planning to...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    The new interchange to 6 North seems a bit excessive for the volumes.

    Roads: Roundabouts

    Wellington County has actually been building a number on rural intersections, but there are a bunch in Grey County and Waterloo Region as well. Without trying to be exhaustive, these are a few I'm aware of that are in rural areas: Edit: I immediately recalled a bunch that I forgot on...

    Roads: Roundabouts

    I think you may even still be missing some - notably, Hespeler & Beaverdale/Queen has been a 2-lane roundabout for some time now, and they are in the process of constructing one (likely 2-lane) at Hespeler and Maple Grove.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    The new Tremaine Road alignment is now open to traffic and the old Tremaine Road overpass has been demolished.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    They have redirected westbound traffic on the 401 at the new Tremaine Rd. overpass to new lanes as of this morning with traffic entirely shifted off of the original lanes. It's almost like it's being set up with an express-collector configuration despite the Hwy 25 overpass not being configured...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Does anyone know where the new siding in Acton will be (or is already)? It's my understanding that it was supposed to be built concurrently with the siding outside of Breslau, but I haven't seen any updates on it.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    You're absolutely right, I don't know how that got transformed into 2011 in my head.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    For people who are interested, the preliminary design business case study that looked at the fly-over option closely was way back in 20112021, but you can still access it...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    For those wondering, the video starts at Shantz Station Road and follows the double-track east to Fountain Street. It's just short of 3 km. Out of curiousity, in normal operations are trains able to reliably meet on a siding that long, or will one normally have to wait for the other to clear...

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    I think it will ultimately connect to the roundabout to the north which would then have the interesting distinction of four different roads coming off it (Tremaine Rd, James Snow Pkwy, Dublin Line, and Campbellville Rd).

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Does anyone know if they will be widening the 401 past Regional Road 25 to the new Tremaine Road interchange? It seemed that they were grading for additional lanes under the span over the westbound lanes. I've always thought the sudden collapse down to 3 lanes from 5 at Regional Road 25 made...

    Roads: Ambassador & Gordie Howe Bridges

    I stumbled upon a channel on Youtube with some pretty detailed drone shots of various steps in the construction process. The latest video he posted is from April 13.

    Waterloo Region Transit Developments (ION LRT, new terminal, GRT buses)

    Do you have any information on mode share? I didn't notice it in the article. It's interesting to compare it to other transit agencies which who have seen post-pandemic ridership grow quite slowly, likely due to an increase in people working from home who might otherwise be more likely to use...

    Waterloo Toronto | New Waterloo Region Acute Care Hospital | ?m | ?s | GRH

    There is an express bus route from Borden Station along Ottawa Street that would get people to the Aud lands in a couple minutes, but it only runs every 30 minutes at the moment.
