MTO seeks input on proposed Hwy. 40 improvements

An online Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held over the next week to present a recommended plan for proposed improvements to a section of Highway 40, between Indian Road and just north of Wellington Street.

The online PIC will be held from November 27 until December 10.

The Ministry of Transportation retained GHD last year to complete a preliminary design and Class Environment Assessment (EA) Study for the highway corridor.  

"The MTO has developed and evaluated alternatives leading to a recommended plan to address the safety and transportation needs in the corridor," read a notice from the MTO.

The study team will respond by email to input received following the PIC.

The ministry said a recommended plan for the project will be confirmed based on comments received during the PIC. After which, a Transportation Environmental Study Report will be prepared and stakeholders will have 30 days to comment once the report is made public.

The widening of Highway 40 was included in the Ontario government’s 2021 budget.

Further details about the project can be found on a dedicated provincial website, highway40widening.ca.
