Bradford West Gwillimbury, Ontario · On Highway 400, minutes from Highway 404
Built where the highways meet.
We sit directly on Highway 400, and the new Highway 425 link is under construction on our doorstep. From here your trucks reach Ontario's 400-series network in minutes — and 150 million North American consumers within a day's drive.
On the road, you start ahead.
Highway 400 runs right past our employment lands, linking you south to Highway 401 and the Greater Toronto Area, and north to Barrie and beyond. It is the spine your supply chain rides on.
Direct Highway 400 access
Our business parks sit on or beside Highway 400, so freight moves from the loading dock to the freeway without crawling through city traffic. The 400 feeds straight into the 401, North America's busiest freight corridor.
The centre of a growing region
We are one of Ontario's fastest-growing municipalities, on track for about 83,500 residents and roughly 30,900 jobs by 2051. Locating here puts you in front of that growth, not chasing it.
Highway 425: a new freeway link on our doorstep
Highway 425 is the new four-lane, controlled-access freeway that will connect Highway 400 here in BWG directly to Highway 404 to the east. For shippers it means a faster east-west route across the northern GTA and fewer heavy trucks on local roads.
- 16.3 kilometres of new freeway with seven interchanges, including a freeway-to-freeway interchange at Highway 400
- Major construction began in 2026, starting with the west section between Highway 400 and County Road 4
- Designed to save drivers up to 30 minutes versus today's local roads, with room to widen and add a high-occupancy vehicle lane later
On the rails, you reach two coasts.
A CN freight line runs through our employment lands, and two of the country's busiest intermodal hubs sit a short drive south. Your goods can move by rail to deep-water ports on both of Canada's coasts.
Rail-served industrial land
Our Artesian Industrial Business Park is served by CN freight rail, so manufacturers and distributors who ship by rail can locate on a rail-connected site close to downtown Bradford.
Major intermodal hubs nearby
About a 40-minute drive south are CN's MacMillan Yard, one of Canada's largest rail classification yards at more than 1 million railcars a year, and CPKC's Vaughan intermodal terminal, which handles roughly 700,000 containers a year.
Coast-to-coast reach
Through those terminals, transcontinental rail connects you to deep-water container ports on Canada's east and west coasts, opening up overseas markets without trucking the whole way to the water.
In the air, the country's biggest gateway is close.
You are roughly 45 minutes from Toronto Pearson, Canada's largest airport and a major air-cargo gateway, with a full-service regional airport even closer for corporate flights.
Toronto Pearson International (about 45 minutes)
Roughly 60 kilometres south by Highway 400, Pearson connects Canada to most of the world's economy and moves a large share of the country's air cargo, so your people and your time-sensitive freight are never far from a flight.
Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (about 40 minutes north)
This modern airport is a commercial port of entry with on-site Canada Border Services, and it handles everything from corporate jets to narrow-body airliners. A Bradford manufacturer already bases a corporate jet there to reach clients across North America.
Getting your team to work is easy here.
Workforce access matters as much as freight. Local, regional, and GO services all connect your site to the people you need to hire.
BWG Transit, on demand
Our local transit now runs fully on demand through Argo: riders book a battery-electric minibus by app or phone. BWG was the first community in the world to launch this smart-routing system, and shared-ride trips connect riders to the Bradford GO station and Reagens Industrial Park.
Simcoe County LINX
The County's regional bus network links BWG to Barrie, Innisfil, and other Simcoe communities, and LINX service in BWG is expanding. That widens the labour pool your business can draw on.
GO Transit on the Barrie line
The Bradford GO station puts your workforce a train ride from Newmarket, Vaughan, and downtown Toronto. Planned GO Expansion will bring more frequent, two-way service over time.
Within a day's drive of a continent of customers.
Location is only valuable if it puts you near demand. From BWG, the 400-series network and the rail terminals to our south reach an enormous market fast.
