Boler Road (London, Ontario)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boler Road is a north-south arterial road in London, Ontario, Canada. It extends from Riverside Drive in the Oakridge area southward through Byron and south to Southdale Road. It continues north of Riverside Drive as Sanitorium Road.

[edit] History

Boler Road originally ran southward from Old Bridge Road in Byron. In the mid-1960s, the one-lane truss bridge over the Thames River connecting Boler Road to Riverside Drive was replaced with a deck bridge, and Boler Road was diverted onto the new bridge.

In the 1970s, there were conceptual plans to realign Boler Road south of Baseline Road to join Colonel Talbot Road north of Southdale Road. This bypass, which was never constructed, would have departed present-day Boler Road at Wayne Road. This area has since been developed.

There have been conceptual plans for a number of years to join Boler and Colonel Talbot Roads via an extension south of Southdale Road, which would join Colonel Talbot Road in the vicinity of Pack Road, north of Lambeth. A timeline for this extension has yet to be determined.
