The Ministry of
Transportation has awarded a large construction contract to
Dufferin Construction Company to widen the QEW through the City of St.
Catharines. HCI has been selected to administer this contract on behalf
of the MTO. This website will serve as an information guide to all
stakeholders for the duration of the project, which is expected to be
completed in the summer of 2011.
This section of the QEW is the
last remaining section between Toronto and Niagara Falls that
has not been widened to a six-lane cross-section. The purpose
of the project is to provide improvements to this section of the
QEW by widening from four to six lanes, constructing a median
tall wall barrier and new storm drainage system, reconstructing
/ re-configuring interchange ramps, rehabilitating, widening or
replacement of structures, and providing full illumination to
address safety, operational and capacity concerns.
The work is scheduled to be
completed in 5 stages starting in the spring of 2007 and
completing by the summer of 2011
