Highway 400 bridge replacement planned

Highway 400 bridge replacement planned
The province is widening Highway 400, from Highway 9 north to the Holland Marsh – widening and replacing the bridges over the North and South Canals.

The South Canal Bridge replacement will take place first, with completion slated for 2018. Once that project, and the construction of the new interchange at the 400 & Line 5 BWG are completed, work will begin on the North Canal Bridge replacement, Bradford West Gwillimbury Council was told by Mike Trader, Senior Association and Professional Engineer with Stantec.

This should be a good thing once it is done. It will be not be fun during the road work. Friday night could be real bad... No time line is given, so I am guessing a year or two before it starts. This could take a few years to complete too.
