Now they just need to finish the QEW-403 missing ramps. It would make taking the 407 to bypass traffic in Oakville and Burlington much easier.
Any idea if the MTO is even contemplating this, even if it is just a long term goal?Now they just need to finish the QEW-403 missing ramps. It would make taking the 407 to bypass traffic in Oakville and Burlington much easier.
Gee, I guess you miss the asphalt for the 401E to 403 that I saw a few weeks ago. More south of 401 at that time. The 403 to 401W is graded and waiting paving, but can't see the ramp itself since you need to look at it going north from 403 to 410.That may be on paper somewhere, but the ground they will run on has been barely prepped let alone properly graded and ready for any paving. 401E to 403W isn’t even close to being done early works. Early 2018 sounds very optimistic to me.
They need to add lanes to 403 between the QEW and the 407/403 as its a bitch trying to go north to 403 at pm peak, you are better off going to Winston Churchill to get to the 403. A number of times, got off at Dundas and used it to Hurontario in place of 403.

This coincided with the re-opening of the second lane on the 401WB - 410NB ramp.NB403 - NB410 transfer has undergone some significant changes. A third lane has been added on the right side of 403NB that connects directly to a Courntey Park Dr. exit. A new tall wall barrier now separates drivers wishing to exit at Courtney Park from the rest of 410NB traffic on the left side. The new setup is similar to the Sheppard exit on the 404. Shifting over to the Courtney Park exit is not as tedious as before but one still has to deal with the 401 traffic coming onto the 410.

Does this means that 403 NB to 410 NB has express and collector lanes. Collector can exit to Courtneypark (Courtney Park does look better), but the 401 EB and WB to 410 NB all gets dumped onto the Collector, so the 403 NB to Courtneypark still has to weave through the merging 401 traffic.NB403 - NB410 transfer has undergone some significant changes.

401 WB to 410 can access Courtneypark.....403 to 410 cannot (but someone else pointed out there is a new ramp off of 403 before you get to 410 to access Courtneypark).....have no idea about 401 EB
Sure took about 10 minutes off of my drive home this past FridayBoth 401WB and 401EB ramps end up on the new 410N mini collector segment which accesses Courtneypark. For those travelling north on 410 from 403, the new third lane on the transfer underneath the 401 interchange has a sign titled "Courtneypark Dr." which you take to enter the collector segment. It's quite a change from before.
