Holland River Bridge Rehabilitation - December Update
York Region continues with urgent repairs to the Holland River Bridge, at the boundary of the Township of King and Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, jointly owned with Simcoe County.
Work includes repairing and replacing structural components such as the bridge deck, girders and expansion joints, resulting in lane restrictions.
Stage 1 work began in mid-September and is progressing. Weather and poor underwater soil conditions requires additional structural work and materials. While work on the girders is continuing, micropiles will need to be installed deeper in stable soil underwater and that work will resume once the specialized equipment and additional materials arrive.
Construction Schedule
York Region received an in-water work exemption from the Departments of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, advancing Stage 2 construction.
- Stage 1: Expected completion in winter 2026
- Stage 2: Beginning immediately after Stage 1; expected completion late spring 2026
Impacts to Travellers
Traffic will continue to be reduced to one lane in each direction until the project is complete. Travel impacts include:
- Traffic will be shifted to the other side of the bridge when Stage 2 begins
- Turning-restrictions and temporary closure of Toll Road to through traffic will continue
- Continued restricted left turn from Highway 11 to Canal Road and from Canal Road to Bridge Street
- No stopping on:
- Canal Road between Bridge Street and Pumphouse Road
- Pumphouse Road near Graham Sideroad to the south and near Canal Road to the north
- Graham Sideroad just east of Pumphouse Road
Travellers will continue to expect delays and should allow for extra travel time. The Region is monitoring traffic conditions and making adjustments to help with the flow of traffic.
As with all construction projects, work may be rescheduled due to weather. York Region will provide advance notice where possible. For construction updates about other projects in the area, visit york.ca/Highway11 and york.ca/YongeStreet
