What is Happening?
As part of ongoing work on the Davenport Diamond Greenway project, crews will be working within the Barrie GO rail corridor to prepare the area for future bridge installation.
Activities will include using light machinery such as a bulldozer and excavator to grate and compact the ground to create a set-up area for a crane.
To allow enough space for the truck deliveries, crews will remove the blue fence panel near the 350 Campbell Avenue driveway. This will be reinstated after the bridge has been installed (late July 2026).
