Building the future of transit and transportation across Ontario

IO 20 logo

From subways to highways, GO trains to light rail, Infrastructure Ontario (IO) is at the heart of a historic transformation of how people move across the province. As part of Ontario’s $200 billion infrastructure plan, IO is helping deliver the next generation of transit and transportation projects that are reshaping communities and connecting people.

Working in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation and Metrolinx, IO is leading the procurement and supporting the delivery of major transit and highway expansions. Since 2005, we have collaborated with our partners to deliver 10 transportation and 37 transit projects across Ontario.

Connecting Ontario: expanding highways

From Windsor in the west to Clarington in the east, IO has helped bring new and expanded highways that keep Ontarians moving, such as Highway 407 East Phase 1 and Phase 2, Highway 401 Expansion Project, Highway 427 Expansion, the Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway and the QEW/Credit River Improvement Project. IO also supported the delivery of 23 Highway Service Centres along Highways 400 and 401 to provide travelers with accessible facilities to rest, eat and refuel.

Other projects currently under construction include the QEW Garden City Skyway – Bridge Twinning Project and the Highway 3 Widening Project.

On the move: subways, LRTs and GO Transit expansions

IO has also played a major role in transit projects, having served as an advisor to Ottawa, Waterloo and York Region municipalities and as a procurement lead and delivery partner to Metrolinx for their Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area transit expansion vision.

We partnered with Metrolinx to procure a number of GO Transit projects, such as the Whitby Maintenance Facility, On-Corridor Works and Kipling Station. Light Rail Transit includes the Eglinton Crosstown, Finch West and Hazel McCallion (Hurontario) projects.

In 2019, the province announced four priority transit projects to be delivered by Metrolinx and IO: Ontario Line, Scarborough Subway Extension, Yonge North Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension which will vastly improve transit options and support new housing and economic development.

“Helping deliver Ontario’s massive transit and transportation expansion goes beyond the benefits of building new infrastructure,” said Imad El Haddad, EVP, Project Delivery. “It’s about building stronger, more connected communities while improving safety, reducing congestion, and making commutes more efficient for transit users and drivers. Through innovation, collaboration and a commitment to excellence, we are proud to work with our partners to deliver a more mobile, sustainable and connected Ontario.”
