The Highway 401 Hallecks Road Underpass carries two lanes of Hallecks Road South traffic (one lane in each direction) over Highway 401 and is located approximately 1.2 km north of Highway 2 in the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. The underpass was built in 1967 and underwent major rehabilitations in 1974 and 1984.
The purpose of the study is to identify the appropriate strategy to replace the Hallecks Road Underpass. The study is being undertaken as the underpass is reaching the end of its service life. The Ministry has retained the services of McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. to complete the Preliminary and Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment for replacement of the Hallecks Road Underpass (GWP 4076-14-00). This project commenced as a Preliminary Design in Spring 2020; however, due to the continued deterioration of the bridge, the project is moving into the Detail Design stage. The design is following the approved planning process for a Group B project under the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with opportunity for public input throughout. Public consultation, including an online Public Information Centre (PIC), will continue throughout the study and information will be regularly updated on the project website. Upon completion of the study, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared to document the existing environmental conditions, outline the process taken to select the preferred alternative, and describe the preferred alternative, potential impacts, required mitigation, and details of the design. The TESR will be made available for a 30-day public review period and posted on the project website. Newspaper notices will be published, letters will be sent to the project mailing list, and the website will be updated to explain the review process. Hard copies of the TESR will be made available upon request. |
