Metrolinx Notice: Durham Region - Aerial Survey Operation within the Lakeshore East Corridor
Project Overview
Metrolinx’s GO Expansion program is delivering more GO service across the network, including trains every 15-minutes or better on key segments of the network.
To support GO Expansion, we are upgrading the rail network and our GO stations to bring you more frequent and fully accessible service.
What is Happening?
As part of investigative work for the GO Expansion project, a Remote Piloted Aircraft (RPAS/Drone) will perform aerial surveys along the Lakeshore East rail corridor. The drone will capture images and data for pre-engineer design mapping. This survey will support the design of future track and infrastructure updates.
Hours of Work
The survey is expected to take place between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. November 28 with alternative dates of November 29 and 30 2022.
Work may be rescheduled or extended due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
What to Expect
The drone will be flown over the rail corridor between the limits of Highway 412 and Durham College Oshawa GO Station within the rail corridor. There will be staff on-site conducting and monitoring the operation.
