Development has already been zoned up to 413 and it's majority residential for most of the corridor. See something like this...

There's an epidemic of people that have just drunk way too much Transit-Youtuber Kool-Aid and think all Highways are unnecessary.

Highway 400 is currently being widened in the Vaughan area, from Langstaff up to King Road. The goal is to extend the HOV lane all the way through Barrie to Highway 11. So the location of the intersection between 400 and 413 makes sense. It's already about as far north as it can get without...

The feedback Halton Region has got from cyclists is that ideally roads should have both an on-street bike lane for "confident cyclists" and a raised wider MUP/sidewalk for more casual cyclists. Tremaine Road is another example.

The context of the tunnel would be express movement across the city (not into it) though. Transit goes into the city and Ontario is spending about 3x on transit than on highways.

Those signs are so stupid. That is a long article, but I can't tell if it's the City, or MTO, or another group entirely that is backing these signs and who benefits.

Interesting shots of the existing bridge rehabiltation!

Driving on Mississauga Road under the new bridges feels quite cavernous right now. The clearance above is very high...I can't think of anything else like it right now in the GTA.

Not only is the existing 410 extension alignment to a much lower design speed, the layout does not really accommodate future widening beyond 2 lanes per direction. I wonder if the intention was to always treat this as a placeholder extension until 413 was built. And although this project...

A rather inconvenient location due to being south of the rail tracks. You're almost closer to Islington/Bloor than Kipling/Bloor for walking. Kipling you'd have to either take the long bridge over the railway or cut through the TTC station. It would make getting to the new proposed Etobicoke...

Think 1 HOV + 3 General lanes in each direction, plus standard width shoulders and speed change lanes as required. Eventually the HOV will extend from Burlington to Hwy 427.

HOV to Kitchener will be game-changing. A lot of transit between the two areas is on GO Busses.

Great photos. Probably the most significant bridge over water built in the GTA in a long time. Big temporary changes to the on-ramps; I see huge traffic backups on traffic maps.

This will be along the south service road and it's right up to the property line of the mall, so it is maximizing parking lot area. Could they have negotiated a few more metres of property for some nice space for some sodding on a decent slope? Who knows if this was considered several years ago...
