Bradford — The Ontario government has issued two requests for proposals to complete detail design work for both the central and east sections of the Bradford Bypass . The province is accepting proposals for detail design work for two sections running from Simcoe County Road 4 in the west to Highway 404 in the east.
This work will include field and archeology investigations, property acquisitions, fulfilling consultations duties and finalizing the preferred design option for these sections, a release reads. The detail design work on the west section of the Bradford Bypass will also include conducting environmental assessments and working with stakeholders to identify potential impacts and mitigation measures. This comprehensive approach aims to minimize the environmental footprint of the project. The province has also been actively engaging with local communities and First Nations groups throughout the planning process to gather feedback and address concerns.Last year, the province also awarded contracts for preliminary design work on the Bradford Bypass, marking significant progress towards realizing this major infrastructure project. The Bradford Bypass is a proposed 16-kilometer highway that will connect Highway 400 to Highway 404, bypassing the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury. The project is expected to reduce congestion, improve traffic flow and enhance connectivity in the region.The Ontario government has committed significant funding to advancing the Bradford Bypass, recognizing its importance for economic growth and transportation efficiency. The project is anticipated to create jobs, stimulate investment and support the development of surrounding communities. The completion of the detail design work is a crucial step towards securing funding for construction and commencing work on the ground
