Following study commencement in 2017, the Detail Design was divided into the following four construction contracts: • Contract 1: Pavement rehabilitation of the Highway 401 westbound lanes from approximately 1.4 km east of Holt Road to 0.5 km east of Bennett Road (5.9 km), and the replacement of the Highway 401 Bennett Road bridge structure. • Contract 2: Pavement rehabilitation of the Highway 401 westbound lanes from 2.1 km west of Courtice Road to approximately 1.4 km east of Holt Road (6.8 km). • Contract 3: Pavement rehabilitation of the Highway 401 westbound lanes, from 0.9 km west of Stevenson Road Interchange easterly to 0.3 km west of Simcoe Street (2.3 km) and from Drew Street easterly to 2.1 km west of Courtice Road (5.2 km), and rehabilitation of the Highway 401 Oshawa Creek Bridge Structures. • Contract 4: Pavement rehabilitation of the Highway 401 westbound lanes from 0.3 km west of Simcoe Street, easterly to Drew Street (1.0 km), replacement of Highway 401 bridge structures at Simcoe Street and at Albert Street and the extension of Highway 401 westbound on -ramp at Drew Street. Contracts 1 to 3 have been completed and Contract 4 is now underway. The location of the proposed works for Contract 4 is shown within the enclosed key plan. 100 Commerce Valley Dr. W Thornhill, ON, Canada L3T 0A1 WSP.com Page 7 WSP Canada Inc. The completion of Contract 4 has followed the approved environmental planning process for Group `C' projects under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Group `C' projects are considered approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act, subject to compliance with the Class EA and the application of mitigation measures where necessary will be included in the contract package. Construction for Contract 4 is expected to commence in Spring 2023. The Simcoe Street bridge will be replaced over two years, with the Albert Street bridge construction and pavement rehabilitation of the Highway 401 westbound lanes from 0.3 km west of Simcoe Street, easterly to Drew Street (1.0 km) to follow in year 2. Construction for both bridges is anticipated to take a total of two (2) years to complete. Two (2) separate, overnight closures of Highway 401 will be required for removal of the Simcoe Street bridge in stages. The Albert Street Bridge will be replaced in 2024 and Albert Street will be closed at Highway 401 for the duration of one construction season (May to October). It is anticipated that the closures will be scheduled on weekends, during off-peak hours (Saturday 11:00 p.m. to Sunday 7:00 a.m.). Upon confirmation by the Contractor, Highway 401, Simcoe Street, and Albert Street traffic will be detoured locally along the adjacent municipal road network during the closures. The details of the timing of closures and detours will be communicated by the Contractor. This letter is also to inform you that the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has reviewed and updated its practices related to obtaining noise bylaw exemption permits. Given that MTO is legally exempt from the requirements of municipal noise bylaws, MTO will no longer be applying for these permits. MTO recognizes the impacts construction related noise can have on a community, and all reasonable attempts will be made to work within local bylaws, including as appropriate, public notification and mitigation measures to reduce noise. his change in process is meant to streamline processes while continuing to maintain existing best practices to reduce noise impacts to the community. If you have any questions about Contract 4, please contact one of the individuals noted below.
