Widening of Hwy 407, ETR – May 15th, 2017 – Spring 2018
April 17th, 2017
Regarding the Highway 407 bridges over West Duffins Creek Tributary and Seaton Trail
In summary, the abutments and deck of the Eastbound Lane and Westbound Lane bridges will be widen by 2 lanes to the inside median in each direction to accommodate the ultimate highway 10-lane configuration. However, at this time, only one additional lane in each direction on the bridge structures to achieve a 8-lane configuration is proposed for travel to complement the road works.
The bridge construction is tentatively scheduled to start on May 15th, 2017 and will be completed by end in the Spring of 2018. There will be no direct impact to the trail as a result of the widening the existing bridges, which are single-span bridges over the trail and West Duffins Creek Tributary.
During the above noted construction period for the bridge widening, the Seaton Trail at the Hwy 407 overpass crossing will be temporarily closed due to public and worker health and safety concerns, with the trail scheduled to be reopen in early Spring 2018. There is no change proposed to the trail or its function/features after construction is complete.
