New Highway 7 – Kitchener to Guelph
Phase 3 – Advance Clearing and Fencing
The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) continues to move forward with the new Highway 7 from Kitchener to Guelph following a three phased approach. Engineering and field work for the remainder of New Highway 7 is ongoing. Additional information on the New Highway 7 can be found at: www.newhighway7.ca.
The engineering and environmental work for Phase 3 is progressing including preparing separate Design and Construction Reports (DCRs) in accordance with MTO’s Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities, 2000 (Class EA) as a Group ‘A’ project.
The Design and Construction Report
The DCR will typically include the following content:
Purpose of the DCR

Commitments to Further Work
Once the DCR is prepared, the Notice of Completion will be issued and mark the beginning of the 30-calendar day comment period. The comment period provides an opportunity for any interested party including the public to provide comments to the Project Team.
