Highways

Haldimand County is in the middle of everywhere! Located in Southwestern Ontatio the County’s main connecting roads are:

• Highway 6, running north-south through the County and linking it with Hamilton, ON, and Ontario’s 400-series highway network
• Highway 3, running east-west through the County and linking it with Buffalo, NY, and Detroit, MI.

We also have a rich system of secondary highways, providing quick and easy access to nearby cities including Hamilton, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. Some of  nearby highways that provide this access include:

• Highway 403 which is a 15 minute drive from the northern tip of Haldimand County. This highway also leads to Ontario’s Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW).
• The 400 series highways provides access to the United States to the East,  the Québec-Windsor Corridor to the West and to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to the North.

Through these access routes, Haldimand County connects to much of the North American industrial market in just one day. Many County roads are also built for high traffic volumes and heavy truck traffic.
