The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is undertaking the Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for Highway 148 from approximately 200m west of Angus Campbell Drive in the City of Pembroke to approximately 300m east of the Greenwood Road Intersection.
This study carries forward the recommendations from the previously completed Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) published in June 2018, which can be accessed from the Reference Documents page.
The Study includes pavement rehabilitation to address poor pavement performance as well as intersection and operational improvements, pedestrian and cycling safety improvements, highway drainage improvements, access management, and municipal infrastructure (sanitary sewer and watermain).
An addendum to the Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) has been prepared to document changes to the Preliminary Design such as additional property requirements and limited night work.
A Design and Construction Report (DCR) has been prepared to outline the environmental assessment process followed, consultation, impacts and mitigation measures, design details, and contract specifications for construction.
Project Update:
MTO has encountered delays with the completion of the detail design and environmental assessment for the Highway 148 project.
Ministry staff continue to work to finalize the design and environmental assessment, complete the property acquisitions and relocation of utilities. It is expected that utility relocations should be complete by the end of 2024.
Once the highway design is complete, the necessary property is acquired, and the utilities relocated, the Ministry will tender the project. The project is expected to take approximately 2 and a half years to complete. We will continue to keep residents and businesses informed of the project progress.
The project team would be glad to address any comments, concerns or inquiries you may have regarding the study. Please visit the Contact Us page to get in touch with key project staff or to submit a comment.
