Moving Ahead to Build Bradford Bypass

Our government is making real progress on our plan to build critical highways, including the Bradford Bypass, that will get Ontario drivers out of gridlock.

“Residents across York-Simcoe have been waiting decades for the Bradford Bypass to finally be built,” said Caroline Mulroney, MPP for York Simcoe. “Our government is making consistent progress on this project which will get farmers’ crops to market and more people moving across the Greater Golden Horseshoe.”

With new measures like the 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 the 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.
