The Ontario government has completed major widening projects on Highways 400 and 404 as part of its plan to tackle gridlock and support the safe movement of people and goods in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The new lanes will allow cars and trucks travelling north and south to benefit from faster, more efficient commutes, supporting the GTA’s growing population, and connecting people to more housing and jobs.
Construction crews have finished widening nine kilometres of Highway 400 from Major Mackenzie Drive to King Road, with crews adding one new general-purpose lane in each direction. Highway 404 has been widened 11 kilometres from Highway 407 to Stouffville Road, adding a new High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction which can be used by cars, taxis, motorcycles and other vehicles.
The Ontario government is investing nearly $28 billion over the next decade to repair, build and expand highways, roads, and bridges across the province.
