Trafalgar Road Construction project's genesis was back in 2015, when it was decided that Trafalgar from Leighland Blvd to Hays Blvd needed rehabilitation. From 2016 to 2019 detailed plans were drawn up. Utilities were relocated from 2018 to 2019 and in November 2019 Halton Region award the construction contract. The construction is expected to last until December 2021.

Waste Collection: waste collection schedule may need to be adjusted

Take Oakville Transit
If you are looking to just relax on your way home from the Oakville GO Station, you may want to consider taking one of the following Oakville Transit Routes:
- #5 & 5A Dundas - will be experiencing detours
- #13 Westoak Trails
- #19 River Oaks
- #20 Northridge
- #24 South Common
- #26 Falgarwood
The fewer cars on the road will result in less congestion and quicker commuting times.
