BRADFORD, ONT. — The Ontario government has announced major construction has officially started on the Bradford Bypass, a new four-lane highway, that will now be designated at Highway 425.
According to a release, crews have broken ground on the west section at Sideroad 10, where work is beginning to build the divided highway from west of Artesian Industrial Parkway to Highway 400.
The work includes building interchanges at Sideroad 10 and County Road 4, replacing the bridge at Highway 400 and Line 9 and adding a new freeway-to-freeway interchange connecting the Bradford Bypass to Highway 400.
The Miller Group was awarded the construction contract for this western section of the Bradford Bypass.
Crews have already completed tree clearing along the west section and built a temporary detour at Sideroad 10 to support construction of the new bridge and interchange.
Once complete, the 16.3-kilometre highway will run from Highway 400 in the west to Highway 404 in the east.
