About the project

The Region of Waterloo is improving Trussler Road, from Bleams Road (southern limit) to the Highway 7/8 ramps in the City of Kitchener and Township of Wilmot. Potential improvements include widening from two to four lanes as identified in the 2011 Regional Transportation Master Plan (RTMP) and the 2018 RTMP Update and installing active transportation facilities through the Active Transportation Network Strategy.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation is undertaking the planning and design of the Trussler and Highway 7/8 interchange upgrades.

The Region is in the early stages of a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA), with construction anticipated to run from 2027 to 2029 as per the Regional Council-approved 2026 Transportation Capital Program.

The cost of this project will depend on the approved improvement alternative, as well as necessary infrastructure relocations and property acquisitions. Funding of $12.58 million for improvements on Trussler Road is included in the Region’s 2024 Transportation Capital Program.
