IDENTIFY, AIM, EXECUTE
DRIVEN TO BE THE BEST
Featured Accomplishments
After some 5 years of active construction on the Extension of the 404, Miller turned over the newly built Highway to the Ministry
of Transportation and celebrated its opening with the Ribbon Cutting.
Very few firms could take on such a task and be able to deliver on a demanding project schedule of this nature. Numerous challenges
were encountered during the construction of the project but through the cooperation of all branches of Miller divisions,
these impacts were minimized allowing the project to be completed this summer.
Congratulations
to the Brennan
Civil Group for
a job well done,
and once again
demonstrating
why Miller is
“ONLY THE BEST”
and continues to
be an Industry
Leader!!

ONTARIO’S BEST IN CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION
Construction of the 13 KM, four lane extension on Highway 404 and Green Lane was recognized because of the value Miller
Group’s concrete pavement delivered to this critical infrastructure project.
Construction on the Highway 404 Extension was completed by Miller Paving Limited for the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.
The extension will remove up to 22,000 vehicles daily off of the local roads, reduce travel times for commuters and commercial vehicles,
and support regional economic development. This project required the dedication of teams from our Paving and Concrete
Divisions to ensure the success of this project. Congratulations on a job well done by all!
