Bradley Avenue Extension
Construction update:
Starting Monday, October 27 (weather permitting), Bradley Avenue will be temporarily closed between Jalna Boulevard and White Oak Road for approximately three days to allow crews to safely operate a crane as part of ongoing construction work.
A signed detour will be in place using Southdale Road, White Oak Road, Exeter Road, and Wellington Road. Drivers are advised to expect delays and follow detour signage to reach their destinations.
About this project:
The Bradley Avenue Extension Project runs from Wharncliffe Road South to Jalna Boulevard. Work began in June 2025 and is expected to be mostly finished by fall 2026, with paving and final cleanup planned for 2027.
The Bradley Ave Extension project involves:
- Build a new four-lane road from Wharncliffe Road South to White Oak Road
- Upgrade Bradley Avenue from two to four lanes between White Oak Road and Jalna Boulevard
- Add in-boulevard bike paths, sidewalks, street lighting, and landscaping
In coordination, the White Oaks Tributary Complete Corridor (Phase 1) will also be constructed. This includes the creation of an open drainage channel with stormwater management and natural heritage features to support future development.
Once complete, this corridor will become a four-lane complete street with sidewalks, in-boulevard bike lanes, street lighting, and landscaping, supporting safer travel options and future growth in the area.

Proposed work details
Planned work as part of this project includes:
- Construction of a new four-lane road from Wharncliffe Road South to White Oak Road
- Widening the existing road to four lanes between White Oak Road and Jalna Boulevard
- New in-boulevard asphalt bike paths and concrete sidewalks
- Installation of new traffic signals at Bradley/Wharncliffe and Bradley/White Oak intersections
- Replacement and upgrades to underground infrastructure, including watermain and storm sewers
- Culvert replacement at White Oaks Drain.
- Stormwater management pond upgrades west of White Oak Road
- Construction of medians, curbs, and gutters
- Installation of new streetlighting
Construction impacts
This is a multi-year project, with major construction occurring through 2025 and 2026. Final surface asphalt and pavement markings will be applied in 2027.
Due to the limited road width, construction between White Oaks Road and Jalna Boulevard will be completed in stages. One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction throughout this portion of the work. However, temporary, short-term lane closures may be required at times.
