North-South/Waterdown Road Corridor Class EA
The Waterdown Road Corridor Class EA has received conditional approval from the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. The conditions are:
- Carrying out monitoring studies and mitigation for Species at Risk during all phases of construction as outlined in the Environment Study Report;
- Consulting with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and Conservation Halton, to implement recommendations that ensure impacts to Sassafras-Waterdown Woods are minimized or mitigated;
- Obtaining required authorizations under Species at Risk Act (2007) before commencing constructions; and
- Developing a Wildlife Road Crossing Safety Plan for the Project.
The Cities of Hamilton and Burlington are now proceeding with detail design of Waterdown Road.
50% Design of Waterdown Road
The City of Burlington, City of Hamilton and Halton Region have presented the 50% Design of Waterdown Road. You can view the information presented under Public consultation on this page.
The proposed construction will consist of the following works:
- Road widening to accommodate an ultimate 4 lane cross section. The road will be striped as a 3 lanes cross section until traffic volumes increase.
- Installation of curb and gutter and a multi-use pathway on the west side
- Storm sewer installation
- New traffic signal at Waterdown Road and Mountain Brow Road
- New street lighting
- Watermain replacement (Includes watermain replacement on Flatt Road and Ireson Road)
East-West Road Corridor Class EA
The East-West Road Corridor Class EA has received full approval from the Minister of Environment and Climate Change.
The City of Hamilton is now proceeding with detail design.
