The Ministry of Transportation has announced that the ramps connecting Highway 403 and Rest Acres Road in the County of Brant, Ontario, will face intermittent closures from March 23 to March 27, 2026. These daytime closures are expected to take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. throughout the week. While the ramps will not be closed at the same time, motorists travelling north or south on Rest Acres Road will be unable to access the westbound highway ramps while work is underway.
This work is part of a larger provincial project to rebuild the interchange at Rest Acres Road. The Parsons Inc. engineering firm was hired to design the improvements, which include replacing the current ramp entrances and exits with roundabouts. The project also involves updating the drainage, lighting, and landscaping in the area to better handle traffic flow.
According to the County of Brant, these upgrades are necessary due to the significant growth of the Brant 403 Business Park. The park was established in 2010 and is now home to more than 14 companies, which has increased the number of vehicles using the interchange every day. Construction on the interchange is expected to continue through the rest of the 2026 season.
The provincial government has committed approximately $4.3 billion toward repairing and expanding highways and bridges across Ontario this year. Drivers are encouraged to check Ontario 511 for real-time updates on road conditions and closure status before they head out. This provincial system provides the most current information for commuters moving through the region.
