The Ontario government has started construction on the Bowmanville Extension of GO Transit, a project that will extend the Lakeshore East line by nearly 19 kilometres into Durham Region. The extension is expected to provide regular, two-way service throughout the day, connecting communities from Oshawa to Bowmanville and linking residents to housing and local employment centres. © MetrolinxThe project includes the construction of four new stations at Thornton’s Corners East, Ritson Road, Courtice, and Bowmanville. Current construction focuses on modifying bridges, relocating utilities, and upgrading the Durham College Oshawa GO Station and the adjacent VIA Rail facilities. The Bowmanville Extension will transform travel across Durham Region, bringing fast, reliable and affordable GO train service to residents from Oshawa to Bowmanville and connecting thousands of Ontarians to housing and good-paying jobs.
