Dundas Street is a critical major east-west corridor with more than 40,000 daily road users. Since 2012, Halton Region has been making improvements to Dundas Street to accommodate growth in north Burlington and Oakville.
Improvements will address future traffic demands and provide safe travel options for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists and include:
Equipment for the Regional Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) will also be installed. The ATMS is a traffic signal control system that enables real-time signal adjustments to save time, reduce emissions and improve safety for motorists.
Explore the images below for what you can expect to see once improvements are complete.
Improvements include:
Dundas Street Phase 1 cross-section
Environmental Assessment completed.
Detailed design completed for Phase 1.
Construction start for Phase 1.
Anticipated project completion for Phase 1.
Detailed design completed for Phase 2.
Detailed design completed for Phase 3.
Dundas Street is a major east-west corridor that many 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 the extension will create.

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:
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:
In addition to the improvements to Dundas Street, Halton Region and Conservation Halton will be working together to restore the banks and valley wall of Bronte Creek, north of Dundas Street. The combination of the bank slope and the river movement have resulted in significant erosion of the valley wall of Bronte Creek.
This restoration will allow for native plant species to take root and contribute to long-term bank stabilization, and reduce the potential for continued failure of the slope. The native species will provide improvements for the Silver Shiner fish habitat by supplying nutrient inputs, adding channel diversity, providing nearshore cover and protecting habitats for endangered and at-risk wildlife, including bird and bat species.
There are no traffic updates at this time.
Halton Region has a dedicated Construction Ambassador for this project who will be available to meet with residents and businesses to address any questions or concerns.
