The City of Hamilton initiated the Additional Access to Brantford-bound Highway 403 (formerly Mohawk Road Ramp EA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study in 2013 to determine the feasibility of a westbound access ramp to Highway 403 in Ancaster. Since that time, an extension of the third westbound lane from Southcote Road to Highway 6 has been considered within the extended study area.
The study is being carried out in accordance with Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipal Engineer’s Association MCEA (October 2000, as amended in 2023), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
The goals and objectives of the study are to:
Determine the operational and geometric feasibility of a westbound on-ramp to Highway 403.
Assess the limitations and impact of the proposed ramp on Highway 403 operations and future plans.
Consider and assess extending a third lane (truck climbing lane) from Southcote Road to Highway 6.
We want to hear from you!
We are interested in learning about your questions and interests regarding the project.
We're collecting information as part of this project The City of Hamilton collects information under authority of Section 227 of the Municipal Act, 2001. Any personal information collected for the Mohawk Road Ramp Environmental Assessment project will be used to inform the evaluation and refinement of the Design Alternatives.

Held June 27, 2024. The project team provided an update on the ramp design, the results of updated technical studies, and the potential impacts and mitigation measures considered.
Review presentation materials and provide comments by July 31, 2024.
Mohawk Road Ramp Environmental Assessment has finished this stage
Since June 2014, the City has worked with the MTO, to review the proposed Mohawk Road ramp in light of a new westbound truck climbing lane being planned by MTO. Additional traffic analysis was undertaken to demonstrate how the truck climbing lane and on-ramp will operate safely. The Mohawk Road ramp design and supporting technical studies are being updated and refined to reflect the truck climbing lane.
Public Consultation (2024)
