“Replacing the Dunlop Street bridge is a crucial step in widening Highway 400 near Barrie,” Ric Bresee, parliamentary assistant to the minister of transportation, said in a statement.

The bridge replacement will see the existing underpass at Highway 400 and Dunlop Street replaced with a new, taller concrete median barrier. Interchange ramps will also be modified.

The province estimates the project will create close to 500 jobs in construction.
