Ontario Moving Ahead to Build Bradford Bypass
- Our government is making real progress on our plan to build critical highways, including the Bradford Bypass and Highway 413, that will get Ontario drivers out of gridlock.
- With new measures like our proposed Building Highways Faster Act, which will speed up the building and approvals process on priority highway projects, along with our nearly $28 billion investment in roads and highways throughout Ontario, we’re getting it done for drivers across the province.
- In addition to the construction contract award for the west section of the Bradford Bypass, early project work for the expressway is also underway, with crews recently completing a new bridge at Simcoe County Road 4 that will help keep traffic moving in West Gwillimbury. Construction is also underway on a Highway 400 southbound lane that will connect to the future Bypass.
- Once complete, the Bradford Bypass will be a vital link for communities in York Region and Simcoe County, providing better connections to jobs and housing.
- The new four-lane, 16-kilometre highway will relieve gridlock on the 400 and 404, save commuters up to 35 minutes per trip and keep goods moving across the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
- During construction, the Bradford Bypass will support over 2,000 well-paying jobs annually and contribute up to $286 million to Ontario’s gross domestic product.
