Gore Road and Hamilton Road Intersection Improvements Environmental Assessment

Background

Hamilton Road and Gore Road is a busy intersection. Due to London's growth, there is a need to accommodate the increasing amount of traffic by improving this intersection and addressing the mobility concerns of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. The City has completed an Environmental Assessment to determine possible alternatives that will make this intersection safer.

Based on the results of the Environmental Assessment, the preferred solution will be a new roundabout at this intersection. 

Current status

The project team has completed the Environmental Assessment for the Gore Road and Hamilton Road Intersection Improvements. 

An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared to document the Class EA planning process used in developing the recommended plan, including the alternatives considered, the preferred design, impacts and mitigation measures, and consultation activities. 

The roundabout is currently in a detailed design phase and construction is anticipated in 2027 subject to property acquisition, approvals, and coordination with other projects in the area. In the fall of 2025, the City will be hosting a Project Update Meeting to present the detailed design and provide an update on the project.

More information, including how you can participate in this project is available on our Get Involved London page.
