As a result, eastbound and westbound highway traffic will be diverted around the bridge and back onto the QEW. The westbound QEW on-ramp from Bronte Road will also be closed during this period.

The Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) is undertaking highway expansion work to provide High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on the QEW through Oakville between Burloak Drive and Trafalgar Road. Implementing HOV lanes on provincial highways will ease congestion, reduce commute times and promote public transit by getting more people into multi-occupant vehicles. The QEW highway expansion work is expected to be completed by the summer of 2011.

Residents with questions or concerns regarding the construction are asked to contact the Ministry of Transportation's Contract Administrator at 905-337-8836. Questions or concerns can also be addressed by the Town of Oakville at 905-845-6601, ext. 3302 or 3398.
