New railway grade separation for improved rail service - Denison Road

As part of Metrolinx’s regional transportation plan, Reinforced Earth Company Ltd. (RECo) designed and supplied material for retaining walls in the railway grade separation project over Denison Road. This railway corridor is shared by GO Transit, VIA Rail and the Union Pearson Express (UP Express) which is an airport rail link that runs between Union Station in Downtown Toronto and Toronto Pearson International Airport.


The grade separation included a GO Transit bridge adjacent to a CP Rail bridge and other than Reinforced Earth walls, this project included sheet-pile cut-off walls with pre-stressed anchors and incorporated RECo’s TerraClass panels with an ashlar stone architectural finish as a façade. Construction started in Fall 2014 and finished in 2015.
