What you can expect day-to-day

Britannia Road Corridor is a major east-west corridor that residents and motorists rely on to get to work, school, home and retail every day. Halton Region is making every effort to minimize the disruptions and help you plan ahead for construction activity.

Learn more about what to expect day-to-day, our mitigation plans and how to stay connected on the project.

I’m a resident or business in the area

Advance notice of any service disruption or construction impacts will be provided to residents in-person, through letter, email and website updates.

Below are some impacts you may experience:

  • Dust and mud: There may be increased levels of dust and mud near the work site. The contractor is required to manage these impacts.
  • Noise: You may experience noise as a result of construction. We will schedule work in accordance with local noise by-laws.
  • Tree pruning & removals: Due to the road widening, certain trees will either be pruned or removed. This work may happen shortly to allow for the utility relocations to occur. New trees will be planted once construction has completed.
  • Truck traffic: You will notice increases in truck traffic around the ongoing work. Please be aware and use extra caution while driving.

I use this road regularly

Advance notice of any closures or restrictions will be available through letter, email, social media, road signs and website updates.

The following mitigation strategies have been put in place to minimize the impact on traffic and travel:

  • Phasing construction: Construction will be phased to allow for one lane in each direction to be maintained on Britannia Road. Emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times.
  • Using electronic signs: Road signs will be on site to with up-to-date traffic impacts.
  • Reducing speed limits: To ensure safety, the speed limit has been lowered within the project limits.
