The Miller Group has been awarded the construction contract for the west section of the Bradford Bypass, where crews have already completed tree clearing along the corridor and built a temporary detour at Sideroad 10 to support construction of the new bridge and interchange.
Construction of the new four-lane highway will support 2,200 jobs annually and contribute up to $286 million to Ontario’s GDP.
“With major construction underway on the Bradford Bypass, we’ve reached a historic milestone in our plan to give relief to commuters from some of the most congested highways in North America,” said Premier Doug Ford. “We will continue to invest in our $236 billion plan to build, including the Bradford Bypass, Highway 413 and the 401 tunnel, saving drivers and businesses across Ontario time and money.”
Once completed, the 16.3-kilometre Bradford Bypass will run from Highway 400 in the west to Highway 404 in the east, providing a new east-west freeway connection between York Region and Simcoe County.
Crews are now active at Sideroad 10, where work is underway to establish the divided highway alignment from west of Artesian Industrial Parkway to Highway 400.
The western segment includes construction of interchanges at Sideroad 10 and County Road 4, the replacement of the Highway 400 and Line 9 structure, and a new freeway-to-freeway interchange connecting the Bradford Bypass directly to Highway 400.
While construction proceeds on the western section, design work continues across the remainder of the corridor. Detailed design contracts for the central and eastern sections were awarded in 2025.
WSP Canada Inc. is leading design work for the central section, while Stantec Consulting Ltd. is responsible for the eastern section extending toward Highway 404.
Program management for the full corridor has been awarded to Jacobs Solutions Inc. in partnership with Egis Group, overseeing coordination, risk management and integration of design and construction across all phases of the project.
