Traffic woes with construction underway on Dunlop Street bridge replacement
The Dunlop Street bridge over Highway 400 in Barrie, Ont. Motorists have to pack their patience as construction to replace an aging bridge over Highway 400 in Barrie has created traffic disruptions and delays. Ministry of Transportation crews have started work on the existing two-lane Dunlop Street bridge, with construction spanning from Hart Street to Cedar Point Drive. The City warns there will be intermittent traffic disruptions over the coming weeks through the area, adding traffic would 'generally be maintained' along Dunlop Street throughout construction. The scope of the project includes replacing the bridge with a longer overpass to accommodate future widening of Highway 400 to 10 lanes. At the City's request, the new bridge will also be wider to help improve traffic flow. The entire project is anticipated to be completed by fall 2028.

Highway 400 NB ramp at Essa Road officially opens in Barrie
Construction pylons block the on-ramp to Highway 400 south along Essa Road in Barrie, Ont. Traffic in the south end of Barrie will flow a little smoother along a busy section of Essa Road with the official opening of the northbound ramp to Highway 400 on Thursday. Barrie police posted to social media Thursday morning to notify motorists the ramp under the 400 bridge had opened, and the temporary on-ramp to the highway that required a left turn at the lights at Fairview Road was no longer. That area is now a through lane. Last month, the Fairview Road carpool lot was reopened and the Ardagh Road carpool lot was closed for crews to continue work along Essa Road. It is expected to reopen by the end of July. The project consisted of constructing a new interchange at Essa Road and Highway 400 and widening Essa Road from four lanes to six from Bryne Drive to Fairview Road to improve traffic flow. The Essa Road interchange and Highway 400 overpass replacement project is being led by the Ministry of Transportation.
