BRANTFORD, ON – The City is investing in critical infrastructure improvements to enhance road safety, support growth, and improve connectivity for residents, commuters, and businesses.

Several major projects are set to take place this year, improving key transportation corridors and pedestrian routes across the community. While temporary traffic impacts are anticipated, these upgrades will ensure safer, more efficient roadways and pathways for years to come.

Major infrastructure improvements

Brant’s Crossing Pedestrian Bridge Replacement

  • A new, modern pedestrian bridge will improve safety and accessibility, reconnecting trail users along the S.C. Johnson Trail while also safeguarding the City’s infrastructure against future flooding events. 

Downtown Revitalization Phase 1 (Icomm Drive, Brant Avenue, and Hill Street)

  • Roadway, infrastructure and streetscape improvements will support the downtown revitalization, enhance traffic flow, and create a more welcoming space for businesses, residents, and visitors.

Tutela Heights Road Closure (East of Davern Road)

  • Installation of a cul-de-sac along Tutela Heights Road will achieve objectives identified in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment initiated for the Tutela Heights Slope Stabilization investigation, enhancing public safety.

Conklin Road Improvements (Gillespie Drive to Mount Pleasant Road)

  • The addition of a left-turn lane and surface upgrades will enhance safety and traffic efficiency.

Gilkison Street Sanitary Sewer (Mount Pleasant Road to Edge Street)

  • Essential sewer upgrades will ensure reliable services for residents and future development while maintaining local access to community spaces like Lions Park Arena.

Mount Pleasant Street / Road Improvements (Beckett Drive to Conklin Road)

  • A multi-year project to enhance road conditions and underground infrastructure, supporting Brantford's continued growth. Traffic will be rerouted to keep vehicles moving efficiently.

Ava Road Bridge Rehabilitation Project

  • The bridge will reopen this spring, restoring a key connection for drivers, pedestrians, and transit users while final improvements continue.

Ongoing pothole repairs

The City remains committed to maintaining safe and reliable roads. Crews are working around the clock to address potholes caused by winter’s freeze-thaw cycle, prioritizing high-traffic areas and urgent safety concerns. The City inspects all roads to identify and repair potholes and other damage in accordance with Ontario’s Maintenance Standards, which outline the size of a pothole before repairs are required and the timeframe for completion. More than 600 potholes have already been filled, with only a few outstanding. Repairs are ongoing to prevent further road deterioration and keep streets in top condition.

Planning ahead

Residents, commuters, and businesses are encouraged to consider alternate routes during construction periods and staying up to date on closures by visiting  Brantford.ca/RoadClosures. The City appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as these essential projects are completed, ensuring a stronger and more connected transportation network.
