TORONTO — The Ontario government has announced funding to connect the two sides of Wyecroft Road in Halton Region including a new bridge over Bronte Creek.
Currently, Wyecroft Road is disconnected at Bronte Creek with no crossing. The road extension and bridge would include a mixed-use path to permit other methods of transportation, said a Feb. 13 release.
The extension will provide an additional east-west connection between Burlington and Oakville, which will help people in these communities access GO stations in the region, said the statement. The extension will also give buses in Oakville and Burlington a more direct route to the Bronte and Appleby GO stations.
Halton Region is required to provide detailed project and financial reporting information up to and including completion of the project, the statement said.
“The Wyecroft Road Extension and Bridge Project will enhance the mobility options to the residents of Halton by providing critical east-west connectivity over Bronte Creek between the City of Burlington and the Town of Oakville,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr in the statement. “I would like to thank the provincial government for this investment in infrastructure that will allow residents, businesses, cyclists, transit users, pedestrians, first responders and motorists to experience an immediate benefit from a multi-modal connective corridor.”
“Our government is committed to making life easier for commuters across the province,” said Minister of Transportation Jeff Yurek in a statement. “This project demonstrates that we’re working with our municipal partners to build a more efficient and effective transportation network that benefits everyone.”
