The Highway 401 underpass at County Road 31 is located near Morrisburg, in the Municipality of South Dundas.
​
The replacement of the Highway 401 underpass at County Road 31 involves the following components:
  • Replacement of the existing four lane underpass, with a two lane structure on a slight shift;
  • Overnight closures of Highway 401 and County Road 31 during demolition of the existing structure; and
  • Temporary closures of the Highway 401 / County Road 31 ramps at various stages of construction.

​During overnight closures of Highway 401 and County Road 31, as well as during temporary closures of the Highway 401 ramps, traffic is proposed to be detoured via County Road 31, County Road 2, County Road 41 (Upper Canada Road) and County Road 1 (Carman Road), as required.

This study is being carried out in accordance with the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the study.
