Ontario Awards Contract for Bradford Bypass

The residents of York-Simcoe have been asking the government to build the Bradford Bypass for nearly 50 years.

It’s our government that answered the call. Today, we announced the next step to build the Bradford Bypass by awarding a contract for the detail design of the western section of the highway!  

This critical piece of infrastructure will relieve gridlock, save commuters time and keep goods moving across the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

As our whole province grows at a historic rate, there has never been such an urgent need to get shovels in the ground and build new highways and roads.

That’s why our government is awarding a contract for the detail design of the western section of the Bradford Bypass, which will run 6.5 kilometres from Highway 400 to Simcoe Road 4.

As many residents know, preliminary work for the Bradford Bypass is currently underway with the construction of a new bridge at Simcoe Road 4 and the widening of County Road 4 from two to four lanes.

The Bradford Bypass will be a vital link for communities in York Region and Simcoe County, providing better connections to jobs and housing.

During construction, the project is expected to support up to 2,200 jobs annually and contribute up to $286 million to the province’s GDP.
