About The Project

The $13.5-billion Regional Express Rail (RER) program includes significant improvements to the Barrie GO corridor. The current corridor consists of 11 stations running from the Allandale Waterfront GO station on the shores of Lake Simcoe and Barrie through to Union Station in downtown Toronto.

Non-AFP work on the Barrie Corridor includes three contracts. The RFP for the first contract closed in the fall of 2018, and the RFP has been released for the two remaining contracts. Full construction and expansion of the Barrie Corridor is scheduled for completion in 2025.
