Ontario Breaks Ground on Bowmanville GO Extension

January 27, 2026

Ontario has broken ground on GO Transit’s Bowmanville Extension, marking another milestone in our plan to protect Ontario by relieving gridlock and expanding access to affordable and reliable transit.

Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government is making historic investments to bring rapid transit to new communities and drive economic growth across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

The Bowmanville Extension will deliver two-way, all-day service, saving commuters time and money, while bringing families closer to housing and putting 10,400 jobs within walking distance of transit.

The extension will run from Durham College Oshawa GO Station to Bowmanville GO Station, with service every half hour during peak periods, hourly during off-peak periods and every two hours on weekends.

By 2041, the extension will support 17,000 daily trips and 4.9 million annual boardings, helping keep pace with Durham Region’s growth.

Ontario is investing $70 billion to expand access to transit across the province, including delivering two-way, all-day service on GO Transit’s busiest rail routes.
