Detail Design for Highway 69 four-Laning will follow the planning process for a Group “B” project as outlined in the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (MTO, 2000).

In 2004, a Route Planning Study and Environmental Assessment Report was completed which identified the recommended alignment for this section of Highway 69. This report documented the planning process and outlined additional work that must be completed during Detail Design to finalize the preferred design and develop mitigation measures. This report is available to download by clicking on this link.

The Detail Design for this project is being implemented in three (3) phases. Each phase will include a clearing contract and a main highway construction contract.

Public input is encouraged throughout Detail Design. Two Public Information Centres (PICs) were held in April 2008 and October 2009 which provided an opportunity for members of the public to see the design refinements, exchange information and ask questions of the Project Team. Notices for each PIC were posted on the Upcoming Events page, published in local newspapers and sent to persons on the project mailing list. If you wish to be added to our mailing list or submit comments or questions, please go to the Contact Us section of this website.

Design and Construction Report (DCR) No. 2 will be prepared and made available for review when completed. The first DCR was completed and filed for public viewing in July/August 2008 for the Phase 1 main grading contract including the advance clearing contract for all three phases (please click on this link to view details regarding the DCR). Notices for the review period will be posted on this webpage, published in local newspapers and sent to individuals on our project mailing list.
