The Ontario government held a press conference in Caledon Village Tuesday morning to announce the issuing of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to design an extension of Highway 410 that will directly connect to the future Highway 413.

Prabmeet Sarkaria, Ontario’s Minister of Transportation, was joined by Sylvia Jones, MPP for Dufferin—Caledon, Mayor Annette Groves, Amarjot Sandhu, MPP for Brampton West, Graham McGregor, MPP for Brampton North, Hardeep Grewal, MPP for Brampton East, and more.

The extension will be 9.1 kilometres from Highway 410 at Countryside Drive north to Highway 413, and from Highway 413 west to Highway 10.

This extension will be a direct link between the two highways, and Sarkaria shared that this extension will save drivers up to 30 minutes per trip.

The construction of the highways, they said, will support more than 6,000 jobs per year, and contribute more than a billion dollars to the Ontario economy.

“To protect our strong economy, we need a strong transportation network,” says Sarkaria. “At a time when President Trump is taking direct aim at our economy, our government is doubling down on our plan to protect workers and jobs.”

g to build and keep up with the new population growth that is happening in these regions of Peel, York and Halton.”

Sarkaria noted that gridlock is currently costing the economy $56 billion per year.

He added that MPPs in surrounding areas such as Brampton, Peel Region, York, and more know firsthand “how important it is for this highway in our rapidly growing communities.”

“Shovels are in the ground and we’re getting it done. It’s part of our $30 billion plan to build and repair highways across the province to attract investment, keep drivers and goods moving, and to protect Ontario,” said Sarkaria.

Mayor Groves said “the Highway 413 corridor will be a big help for our villages by supporting the extension of Highway 410 and easing traffic congestion on Highway 10, Caledon Village, and Valleywood.”

Groves noted it will also spur the extension of Highway 427 and reduce the number of heavy trucks travelling on Highway 50.

“If any of you travel Highway 50 you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about,” she added. “This transportation project will provide much needed capacity and better connections throughout Caledon. It will support the growth we’re planning, while helping to keep the unique character and vibrant spirit of our community intact.”

She added Town Staff will make every effort to support and work in partnership with the Province to ensure the successful delivery of Highway 413 and mitigate any impacts to Caledon.

“Our government continues to push forward with the construction of the critical infrastructure that families, workers, and businesses across our community rely on,” said MPP Jones. “This progress reflects our government’s bold action to deliver the transportation network Ontario needs now, and for generations to come.”

When it comes to mitigating trucking issues with the extension, Sarkaria said they have already significantly increased enforcement along both the Highway 10 and Highway 50 corridors, including targeted blitzes on both roads.

As of last month, they have carried out 94,000 inspections, a 45 per cent increase from the year before.

“You will see whether on Highway 10 or on Highway 50 we have significantly more enforcement on our roads,” said Sarkaria.

In regard to the extension, the 410, where it winds around Valleywood, will now directly take drivers to the east of that area, said the Minister, and “avoid a lot of traffic going into some of the areas where there is high residential density.”

“What this will do is effectively create another way for people that are traveling along Highway 10 to get to the 413 and connect to different parts of Caledon in a safer way, and help alleviate that pressure.”

Sarkaria noted the 427 extension is also a part of their plan for Highway 413, and that it will help to “significantly help alleviate truck traffic on that element as well,” as it pertains to Highway 50.

“This project is so vital not only for businesses but also from the perspective of continuing.”
