South end of Highway 410 to be widenedThe Province has announced improvements to Highway 410, including a widening of a 12-kilometre stretch. The widening will be from south of Highway 401 to Queen Street in Brampton. The aim is to improve traffic flow and safety in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), while creating or sustaining more than 1,550 construction jobs. “Our government is committed to improving infrastructure across the province,” commented Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca. “This project is proof of our government's commitment to making the daily commute and quality of life better for Ontario families.” The project will include repairing, repaving and expanding the section of the road from six to 10 lanes; building one general purpose lane and one high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction; repairing seven bridges; constructing two new ramps at the highway 401/403/410 interchange; opening two new carpool lots; and installing concrete median barriers and high-mast lighting. It's anticipated construction on the project will be completed by the fall of 2018. The government has announced that improving highways, roads and bridges across the province is a key part of its economic plan to invest in people, create jobs, build modern infrastructure and support a dynamic and innovative business climate. “This important investment in highway infrastructure is vital to economic growth and prosperity,” commented Brampton-Springdale MPP Harinder Malhi. “Widening Highway 410, including new HOV lanes, will help ease congestion and keep traffic moving safely and efficiently along this busy stretch of highway.” The $156.7-million contract was awarded to Aecon Construction and Materials Limited. |
