Sixth Line Widening

Phase one improvements were completed in 2023.

Phase two continues with the theme of transforming Sixth Line to a more urban corridor with an expansion from two to four lanes including on-street parking, bike lanes and landscaping. 

Utility relocations were completed in 2023. 

In spring 2024, underground work was completed, including the installation of a section of the Sixth Line storm trunk sewer from Threshing Mill to approximately 230 metres north.

With the trunk storm sewer installation complete, the road reconstruction was anticipated to begin in the fall of 2024 but has been delayed until the summer of 2025. 

This delay allowed the town to apply for a provincial housing grant, that may see the town recover up to 50 per cent of the project cost. 

As an update, the Sixth Line project was rejected by the province for funding.

Starting in June, Oakville Hydro will be relocating a hydro pole at Loyalist Trail, due to changes made to the proposed Fire Station, scheduled for construction this summer. Oakville Hydro will also be relocating three hydro poles at the southeast corner of Burnhamthorpe Road, due to changes the adjoining development have made.

The tender for Sixth Line phase 2 is out for pricing and the town is hopeful that once the tender is approved, construction will begin in early August 2025.
