What is the Project?
The Long Point Causeway Improvement Project is a community-based effort to revitalize the 3.5 kilometre-long causeway that links the Long Point Peninsula on Lake Erie with mainland southern Ontario. The Project began in October 2006.
The improved Causeway could also provide ancillary social benefits including improved road safety and enhanced recreational opportunities while maintaining the rural character of the Long Point countryside.
Causeway Ecopassages Environmental
Assessment Report available
The Environmental Assessment report on the three proposed ecopassages for the Long Point Causeway is available for downloading on the Norfolk County website. On October 25, County Council approved the release of the report for a 30-day public review period as requirement under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act.

Minimal traffic disruption
We're often asked about how much disruption to traffic will be caused by the construction of the proposed ecopassages on the Causeway. Here's a series of photos depicting the installation of a wildlife ecopassage on Vancouver Island that shows how the entire job can be completed within one week with minimal traffic delays.
