The Town of Milton is making major upgrades to Nipissing Road and Childs Drive. These changes will make roads safer, ease traffic, and support walking and cycling.

These improvements are part of the Town’s Mobility Hub Study and future growth in the area.

Project overview

Construction will include:

  • Rebuilding and urbanizing Nipissing Road (between Childs Drive and Thompson Road South)
  • Rebuilding Childs Drive (between Ontario Street South and Nipissing Road)
  • Wastewater upgrades on Childs Drive (between Nipissing Road and Satok Crescent)
  • Improving the intersection at Childs Drive and Ontario Street South

Traffic during construction

  • Lane closures and traffic restrictions will be in place
  • Local and emergency traffic will still be allowed
  • All road closures will be posted on the Town’s interactive road closure map at milton.ca/RoadClosures

Why it matters

These upgrades will:

  • Reduce traffic and improve flow
  • Make intersections safer with new traffic lights and turning lanes
  • Improve stormwater drainage and replace old infrastructure
  • Support walking and cycling with new sidewalks and a multi-use path
  • Improve access to key destinations like Milton Mall

Construction timeline

  • Work is scheduled from August 2025 to fall 2027
  • Timelines may change based on weather or site conditions  

What to expect

Residents will experience temporary impacts, including:

  • Changes to traffic flow and driveway access
  •  Noise, dust, and short delays
  • Some night and weekend work

The Town will do its best to reduce disruptions and keep the community informed.
