NEWS RELEASE
HALTON REGION
************************
To service growth, address traffic demands and provide new travel options, Halton Region has been extending William Halton Parkway (Reg. Rd. 40) to create a new east-west corridor from Bronte Road (Reg. Rd. 25) to Ninth Line (Reg. Rd. 13) in north Oakville.
Phase 2 construction began in March 2021 between Third Line and Neyagawa Boulevard (Reg. Rd. 4), Ward 7, in the Town of Oakville (see attached map). Further to the Notice of Construction issued March 24, 2021, the projected completion date included in the notice was December 2024. Due to unanticipated construction delays, the expected completion date is now June 2026. The west section of William Halton Parkway from Third Line to Harasym Trail is open to traffic.
Due to the proximity of Lion’s Valley Park to the construction location, Halton Region’s contractor will continue to utilize the park (along with a section of the parking lot) as a construction staging area throughout the duration of the project. The park will remain open during construction; however, available parking spots will be reduced, and delays may be experienced when accessing the park using Lions Valley Park Road, as it will be shared with construction vehicles.
We would like to thank the residents and businesses for their patience while we complete this essential infrastructure work.
