Portion of Tutela Heights Road to be permanently closed September 16, 2025

Due to the instability of the slope on Tutela Heights Road, the City of Brantford and the County of Brant are taking a proactive approach for the safety of the public and will be closing Tutela Heights Road.

Effective September 16, 2025, Tutela Heights Road will be permanently closed at the City of Brantford – County of Brant boundary.

In 2017, the County of Brant completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) to assess the slope stability along Tutela Heights Road. The preferred recommendation of the MCEA was to permanently close the section of Tutela Heights Road from the City Boundary to approximately 475m eastward.

In alignment with the County of Brant’s planned road closure, the City of Brantford will implement temporary closure measures on its portion of the road until a permanent closure can be completed in Fall 2025. The closed section of Tutela Heights Road will remain accessible to emergency services.
