The Rutherford Go Regional Express Rail expansion is a $239 Million that includes the addition of a new 6 storey parking structure with integrated station building, a second heavy rail track, and improved pedestrian access to the platforms.

Stephenson is providing structural engineering design services for the station and platform expansion portion of this project. This includes the parking structure with integrated station building, at grade pedestrian crossing bridge, an overhead bridge from the parking garage to the new west platform, below grade connections to allow for pedestrian movement below the tracks, as well as canopies and shelters throughout the site.

This project provided many unique site challenges which included interfacing with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority protected lands, groundwater conditions, and varied geotechnical conditions on site which led to varying foundation options from rammed aggregate soil improvement to helical piers and raft slabs. The feature element of this project is a 55 m span pedestrian bridge over the tracks which is comprised of exposed warren trusses. The bridge is integrated with the parking garage and canopy structures below.
