The Detail Design for the widening of Highway 7 is based on recommendations from a 2010 Preliminary Design study (GWP 69-99-00) that recommended a number of improvements to the Highway 7 corridor. The Preliminary Design study considered Highway 7 and Highway 35 from 0.9 km west of Kawartha Lakes Road 18 to 2.0 km east of Kawartha Lakes Road 36. This study is following the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000), with the opportunity for public input throughout the project. This website will be used to provide project and schedule updates over the course of Detail Design. Upcoming consultation opportunities will include an online Public Information Centre (PIC), and posting of the Design and Construction Report (DCR) at the conclusion of the study for public review and comment.
