About the construction

The construction is part of the QEW / Glendale Avenue Interchange Reconstruction project which will see the current interchange replaced with a Diverging Diamond Interchange – the first of its kind in Ontario. Additionally, the Glendale Avenue/York Road intersection will be reconstructed to a single-lane roundabout, and a new Airport Road ramp and connection road from Glendale Avenue to York Road/Airport Road intersection will be constructed on behalf of Niagara Region.
