The City initiated a Municipal Class EA study to determine the feasibility of a westbound access ramp to Highway 403 in Ancaster in 2013.
As part of the Ancaster Transportation Master Plan (ATMP), City Council direction was to pursue the westbound ramp access to Highway 403 from Mohawk Road in collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO).
Project Update: Since the PIC 2 in June 2014, the City has been working with the MTO, to review the proposed Mohawk Road ramp in light of a new westbound truck climbing lane being planned by MTO. Additional traffic analysis has been undertaken to demonstrate how the truck climbing lane and on-ramp will operate safely.
Currently, the Mohawk Road ramp design and supporting technical studies are being updated and refined to reflect the truck climbing lane. The updated ramp design, the results of updated technical studies, a review of potential impacts and mitigation measures will be presented at PIC 3, planned for later in 2023. A separate notice for PIC 3 will be issued.
The goals and objectives of the study are to:
- Determine the operational and geometric feasibility of a westbound on-ramp to Highway 403
- Assess the limitations and impact of the proposed ramp on Highway 403 operations and future plans
Study status: Active
