A minor piece of news, but I think it is interesting.
--------------------
Long-awaited Hwy. 403 interchange now open
After two years in the making, the interchange at Highway 403 and Waterdown Road is officially open.
The $10.8-million project, which saw the construction an off-ramp from the westbound 403 to Waterdown Road and an eastbound on-ramp from the Aldershot GO station access road, is intended to ease traffic on nearby routes. The ramps will redirect heavy trucks from Plains Road, improve response times for emergency vehicles and make west Burlington more accessible along the GTA-Niagara trade corridor.
Calling it a “proud day for Burlington†Mayor Cam Jackson predicted the project would take more than 1,000 trucks off Plains Road every day while delivering more customers to local businesses. Echoing Jackson, Ward 1 Councillor Rick Craven said the interchange would “open up the area and act as a stimulus to businesses along Plains Road and in west Aldershot.â€
