Air Rail Link To Toronto Pearson International Airport

AECOM has recently been chosen as the lead design sub consultant for a joint venture that will design, build and finance part of the Air Rail Link to Toronto Pearson International Airport. This transportation project will consist of a rail link between Union Station downtown and Toronto Pearson International Airport. This desired new route will be approximately 30 kilometers to the northwest.

AECOM will provide architectural, structural, rail, utility relocation and other services for a 3-kilometer spur line and passenger station. The link will also connect Metrolinx’s GO Transit’s Kitchener line to Toronto Pearson Terminal 1. This transformation will make the international airport more accessible to its GTA supporters.

The scope of services includes a new elevated guide way and track on high-level bridges and at-grade rail structures; relocating existing utilities; providing provisions for the future electrification of the ARL; and ensuring that construction on airport lands will not interrupt the Greater Toronto Airport Authority’s capital works program. The contract for this venture is worth $129 million dollars.
