Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

Another delay extends horizon for a new Highway 7 from Kitchener to Guelph; replacement of the Frederick Street bridge won’t conclude until 2027, province now says

The new highway requires the replacement of the Frederick Street bridge that spans the Highway 7/85 expressway in Kitchener. Ontario first advertised for contractors in 2021, but never awarded the job.

Ontario revived the project in 2023 with a public notice that anticipated demolition and replacement of the bridge in 2024.

The province now says bridge replacement won’t start until 2025 and won’t conclude until 2027.
