Dufferin Construction has won a US$66.1 million contract for construction of a portion of controlled-access Bradford Bypass freeway in the Canadian province of Ontario.

The 16km four-lane highway - also known as the Highway 400–404 Link - will connect freeways Highway 400 and Highway 404 through the towns of Bradford and East Gwillimbury.

Dufferin’s work includes the construction of a southbound lane on Highway 400 that will merge with the yet-to-built Bradford Bypass, the expansion of Simcoe County Road 88 from two lanes to four, renovation of Highway 400-Simcoe County Road 88 interchange and an underpass bridge.

Dufferin recently started work and will also complete basic works for future expansion of Highway 400 platform to 10 lanes.

The Ontario government recently awarded the US$11.6 million contract to AECOM for detailed design of the 6.5km west section of the Bradford Bypass from Highway 400 to Simcoe County Road 4.

    Plans are in hand in Canada to extend Highway 427 by 6.6km. The final decision over the project has yet to be made by the Ontario Government. The work is expected to cost in the region of C$500 million (US$491 million) to carry out. The work is required as the highway carries a heavy traffic volume and the extension will help reduce congestion in the surrounding area. The work should commence in 2017 once the necessary approvals have been given and the construction would then require an estimated 36 months.
