# Davenport Diamond Guideway Project – Toronto, Ontario, Canada

![Davenport Diamond Guideway Project – Toronto, Ontario, Canada](https://www.systra.com/ibt/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2023/01/daveport_2copy.jpg)

## DESIGN-BUILD

**The Davenport Diamond is an innovative rail project aimed at enhancing the rail service capacity in the Toronto area by removing one of the last high-traffic rail crossings in the area. **

This project will allow a separation between passenger and freight trains
through the construction of an elevated guideway, which will be accompanied by
the redevelopment of the space under the structure for the benefit of the
community. The Davenport Diamond Rail Grade Separation Project represents an
important part of Metrolinx’s Regional Express Rail (RER) program, which will
bring more train trips to GO Transit’s Barrie line and transform it from a
commuter service to a frequent, two-way, all-day service, seven days a week.

This large-scale program represents the joint efforts of the provincial
government, Metrolinx, Infrastructure Ontario, and the City of Toronto to move
people across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) faster and easier.

SYSTRA IBT is responsible for the detailed design and construction support of
the elevated guideway structure, which includes 600 m (1968.5 ft) of segmental
concrete box girder and three steel girder bridges.
