Rehabilitation work on the Hwy 401/Stewart Blvd and Hwy 401/North Augusta Road structures

Bellai Alliance Civil (BAC) has been contracted by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation to carry out rehabilitation work on the Hwy 401/Stewart Blvd and Hwy 401/North Augusta Road structures. The project also includes paving work on highway ramps and adjacent city streets. To complete this work, BAC will implement traffic control measures on both Highway 401 and the affected city streets. Construction is scheduled to begin June 1, with completion expected by October 2, 2026.

Traffic Impacts on Hwy 401 and City Streets

During the construction period, lane closures will occur on both the eastbound and westbound lanes of Hwy 401 and city streets, with at least one lane remaining open to traffic at all times. Temporary ramp closures will be in place as needed to perform the work. Detour signage will be installed on the highway and the city streets.
