BRADFORD, ONT. — A contract to design and build a bridge crossing for the Bradford Bypass has been awarded to Brennan Paving & Construction Ltd. by the Ontario government.
The new four-lane freeway will connect Highway 400 and Highway 404 in Simcoe County and York Region.
Construction on the new bridge is expected to begin in late 2022 with an expected completion date by late fall 2024.
The new bridge will allow County of Simcoe Road 4 (Yonge Street) between 8th Line and 9th Line to cross over the future Bradford Bypass. The project will also include widening County Road 4 from two to four lanes.
To continue advancing progress between the Bradford Bypass project and the County of Simcoe’s planned expansion work on County Road 4, an agreement has been signed to better co-ordinate the construction approach, which will save taxpayer dollars, avoid throwaway costs, optimize the work required to improve local gridlock and reduce the risk of construction delays, indicates a release.
During the construction period, the Bradford Bypass is estimated to contribute $274 million in annual real GDP and support 2,640 jobs per year on average in the transportation, engineering, construction and supply chain industries.
“Awarding the contract to build the bridge for the Bradford Bypass brings us another step closer to getting shovels into the ground on this critical project – one that local communities have been asking to get built for decades,” said Caroline Mulroney, minister of transportation, in a statement.
