The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has launched a study looking at potential improvements along Highway 3 between St. Thomas and Town of Aylmer.
The project will include a review of current road and corridor conditions, while also exploring possible upgrades and new route alignments. Officials say environmental protection and mitigation measures will also be a key focus as part of the process.
The study area spans multiple municipalities, including the City of St. Thomas, Municipality of Central Elgin, Town of Aylmer and Township of Malahide, all within Elgin County.
The ministry has retained Stantec Consulting Limited to carry out the planning, preliminary design and Class Environmental Assessment.
Residents will have opportunities to provide input through upcoming Public Information Centres, with written comments able to be submitted by email as part of the consultation process.
Officials say feedback gathered during the study will help inform future improvements to this key transportation corridor in the region.
