Originally announced in early 2018 by Kathryn McGarry (previous Minister of Transportation), the Highway 401 Expansion project is the widening of 18 kilometres (km) of highway between the Credit River in Mississauga and Regional Road 25 in Milton. This is part of the Government of Ontario’s plan to commit more than $2.5 billion to repair and expand provincial highways and bridges across the province. Ontario is currently making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, public transit, roads and bridges in the province’s history. The Highway 401 expansion will assist in easing congestion, allow for more efficient transportation and flow of goods, and help accommodate continued population and employment growth in the region.
