Project Details
Welcome to the project website for the Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Highway 401 from 500 m west of Cranberry Road to 450m east of County Road 28, including the Cranberry Road Bridge, Choate Road Bridge, Ganaraska River Bridge, Hamilton Road Bridge and County Road 28 (Ontario Street) Interchange within the Municipality of Port Hope, County of Northumberland.
The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) initiated a preliminary design study in June 2020 (G.W.P. 4005-17-00) focusing on the structural needs of the bridges including the interchange improvements at County Road 28 (Ontario Street), and establishing the eight (8) and ten (10) lane future footprint of Highway 401 from 500 m west of Cranberry Road to 450 m east of County Road 28.
The initial study has since been divided into two separate Class EA studies:

The initial study has since been divided into two separate Class EA studies:
Study #1 (Preliminary Design- GWP 4005-17-00) and (Detail Design- GWP 4068-14-00) includes structural needs of 3 bridges (Cranberry Road Bridge, Choate Road Bridge and Ganaraska River Bridge) and establishing the eight (8) and ten (10) lane future footprint of Highway 401 from 500m west of Cranberry Road to 450m east of County Road 28 (Ontario Street).
Study #2 (GWP 4010-21-00) includes future operational long term needs at the County Road 28 (Ontario Street) interchange, and structural needs of 2 bridges (County Road 28 bridge and Hamilton Road Bridge). Study #2 will be presented as part of a separate consultation process at a future date.
