Canada Drive-America Avenue Bridge

In 2008, the City of Vaughan undertook an Environmental Assessment (EA) study to identify existing and future transportation issues and opportunities in a study area identified as Block 33 (PDF). This block is bounded by Teston Road to the north, Jane Street to the east, Major Mackenzie Drive to the south and Weston Road to the west, with Highway 400 dividing the overall study area. AECOM was the consultant retained to lead the EA study and extensive public consultation process.

In December 2013, Council approved the EA study, which determined the preferred solution to be a bridge built over Highway 400 at Canada Drive and America Avenue. Beginning in 2020, the City started the bridge design, including working directly with the immediate community on a landscape and streetscape design process. Construction is anticipated to begin by spring 2022.

Vaughan values public participation and is dedicated to having constructive dialogue with the community and stakeholders about municipal decisions that matter to them, including this project. A survey is available to gather public feedback on the landscaping and streetscaping options within the area. It will be available until April 13. The City will also be hosting a virtual public open house to continue the conversation and provide additional information about the project, timelines and ways to get involved. The date and details will be provided on this webpage shortly, so please check back often for updates.
