The Town of Halton Hills is completing the design for improvements to Main Street and local roads in Glen Williams.

The project includes a stormwater management study for the Main Street study area, condition assessments for Bridges 1 and 2 along Main Street over the Credit River and full engineering design and investigative services for reconstruction of Main Street from Mountain Street in the south to the urban limit in the north.

The proposed road improvements include the rehabilitation of Main Street Bridges 1 (Structure 17) and 2 (Structure 16) to address structural deterioration, add new paved road services and ensure pedestrian and cyclist safety. Other project components include improving stormwater management during wet weather events and provision of active transportation infrastructure as per the Town’s Active Transportation Master Plan.


March 2023 Project Update

Previously, it was communicated that Bridge 2 was planned for construction in 2023. However, due to structural limitations with the existing bridge, construction will no longer start in 2023.

The full, detailed project update can be reviewed in the March 2023 Project Update Notice.


Virtual Public Information Centre (PIC) #1


The rehabilitation of Main Street Bridge 2 (Structure 16) is the focus of PIC #1 and the PowerPoint presentation "Main Street - GW Bridge 2".

The Town is inviting residents to review the materials and submit questions and feedback to the Project Team until February 10, 2023.

    The Town intends to reconstruct Confederation Street, tentatively scheduled for 2025. The current Main Street Improvements project will evaluate reconstruction alternatives for Confederation Street (rural, semi-urban, and urban cross-sections), active transportation considerations, and drainage improvements. 

    The Consultant for the Main Street Improvements project will prepare a preliminary design for Confederation Street, which will be used as the basis for a separate project focused on the detailed design of Confederation Street. The detailed design project for Confederation Street is tentatively scheduled for 2024 pending budget approval.

    Three (3) permanent asphalt speed humps are proposed along Main Street / 22 Side Road, including one (1) just north of the house at 15583 22 Side Road. These locations have been selected as part of the Confederation Street Neighbourhood Traffic Calming initiative.

    The width of the bridge deck will not be significantly altered by this project. However, use of space on the bridge (i.e., sidewalk width, asphalt width, and railing type) is being adjusted to a new configuration that allows for a wider sidewalk. New guiderail will be installed beyond the bridge ends for greater safety near the river.

    Ian Jarvie asked about 2 years ago

    The Main Street Improvements project includes a stormwater management study for the Study Area, including Tweedle Street. The intent of the stormwater management study is to determine a cohesive, integrated solution for the study area which will provide long-term stormwater management for each street while also fitting into the area's overall stormwater management strategy. 

    However, as the solution has not yet been determined, specific improvements for Tweedle Street are currently unknown. Once determined, the improvements for Tweedle Street will require detailed engineering design under a separate assignment.

    Thank you for submitting the history at this location. The Main Street Improvements project includes completion of a stormwater management study within the study area and recommendations for future drainage improvements. The history at this location will be provided to the project team for consideration during the stormwater assessment.

    The Main Street Improvements project study area extends only to the Urban Limit approximately 415m southwest of Tenth Line. An evaluation of different road cross-section alternatives for each section of Main Street within the study area will be completed as part of the project.
