Accessibility / Getting Around
As Durham Region and more specifically, Bowmanville, start to grow more and more everyday, the area is starting to thrive with new housing developments, businesses and employment opportunities. It is becoming a vibrant and convenient community where people can live, work and play all in one area. As this town grows, the population will start to rapidly expand and with this comes the greater need to travel.
That’s why Metrolinx and the municipal government recently approved the Bowmanville Expansion project which will add four new stops from Oshawa GO Station to the future Bowmanville GO Station. This new expansion project will bring faster and more convenient service that will reduce congestion and will connect people to places of employment and post secondary schools in Durham Region.
Additionally, this rail service will directly connect to the larger GO network, taking residents to Union Station in about an hour.
Drivers can also easily get around in this area with Highway 401 located just south of this town and Highway 407 just north. Using the 401 will connect drivers to the rest of Durham Region and to different parts of the GTA including Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Scarborough, North York and Toronto. By using these series of highways, residents can reach North York in just 40 minutes or Downtown Toronto in just one hour. There are many ways to travel in this area, making it a convenient place to live.
