New Bridge Completes North Oakville's William Halton Parkway Corridor

A major piece of Halton Region's road network is now in place. A new bridge over Sixteen Mile Creek has opened in north Oakville, completing the William Halton Parkway extension between Neyagawa Boulevard and Harasym Trail — and wrapping up a continuous east-west route stretching from Ninth Line to Regional Road 25. The completed corridor clocks in at roughly 12 kilometres and comes stocked with four roundabouts, signalized intersections, on-road bike lanes, sidewalks, multi-use pathways, new lighting, and landscaping. The route sits south of Highway 407 and north of Dundas Street, giving drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians a legitimate new option for getting across that part of Oakville. Halton Region notes the new corridor will also improve emergency services access — including to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital — which is no small thing in a fast-growing part of the region. Construction on the extension kicked off back in 2021, with an original target of June 2026. The bridge opened a couple of months past that mark — August 2026 — though Halton says the project came in on budget and met all required quality and safety standards despite the delay. Heads up if you're venturing out that way: the Region says finishing work — landscaping, fencing, and signage — is still underway, so expect occasional temporary closures of lanes, multi-use paths, and bike lanes. Halton Region serves more than 656,000 residents today and is planning infrastructure for a projected population of 1.1 million by 2051, so expect more projects like this one in the years ahead.
