Welcome

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has retained Stantec Consulting Limited (Stantec) to complete the Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for improvements to the Highway 401 and Bloomfield Road Interchange.

The study includes the following proposed improvements:

  • Reconfiguration of the Highway 401 and Bloomfield Road Interchange to a Parclo A2 interchange configuration
  • Replacement of Bloomfield Road Underpass and Jeanettes Creek Bridge on Bloomfield Road
  • Construction of a new bridge over Flook and Hinton Drain at the Highway 401 eastbound off-ramp
  • Realignment of Seventh Line West, including removal of the Flook and Hinton Drain Bridge on Seventh Line West, construction of a new carpool lot, and a new connection to Bloomfield Road

The study will consider the overall construction sequence for the proposed improvements. Construction will follow the environmental assessment and design phase. Specific timing for the various components of construction will be confirmed as the study progresses and will be provided on the project website when the information becomes available.
