We've been moved over to the left in the WB lanes past hwy 25 recently and concrete dividers have been put up on the right. Not sure if that is just for construction vehicle movement or if they are actually grading for expansion to Tremaine at this point. My worry is trucks getting on the...

Concrete girders have been put up on the new Tremaine Rd overpass. Got a quick shot with my dashcam, not a lot of detial but I thought the silhoutte was pretty.....

For those that don't travel west too often, full-out paving operations have been underway on the remaining expansion between Hespler and Townline. All new sections have been paved and most old-new sections have been ground down to pave over. High-mast light poles are waiting beside their...

Out in the far west, Cambridge expansion still chugging away. Ramp on EB to Townline is back open and lanes are realigned to new sections in both directions, while the old inner section is torn up. Hespler bridge work is finishing up, including the road work in that area. Website with updates...

Can confirm, drove it this morning. Though I swear there was no signage that we were going into the express lanes, maybe I missed it.

Ok everyone, this could be it. Looks like the 401 overpass at the rail line east of hwy 25 is done. They were finishing up the concrete barrier last week and now the temporary concrete dividers have all been removed. The express lanes from Mississauga Rd to the 'old-new' section are paved and...

Several digital sign boards now up over the highway, though not operational yet. A couple more to go up and that will be done with. Lots of work at the connection between the old-new and the new-new section connecting the previous phase and the new phase. Paving operations underway between the...

Looks like things are just beginning to wrap up in the West. Lots of grinding/paving operations this week for the final asphalt layer. The major bottlenecks to construction completion, which are the train bridge at hwy 25, bridge just before credit river and the credit river bridge are starting...

Collector/express system now open, westbound only, from just after the 407 all the way to James Snow. Have been taking the collectors this week and have been flying down that stretch while the express crawls (afternoon rush). Not sure why they have two lanes closed at Trafalgar EB 401 at 6 in...

Will the concrete section of this expansion end at the previous phase? It seems it will be only asphalt from there on (West) as the collector lanes have only been paved, no asphalt.

Some things I thought were interesting to discuss/ask on this broad-reaching topic: - Cambridge Expansion No real activity the past few weeks as all lanes have seemingly been paved and are currently in use. Great traffic flow, for the most part, in this area now. Almost too wide! - No...

Cambridge update. After a bunch of work on the shoulders (new shoulder barricades on EB from hwy 8 to speedsville and beyond, repairing (new?!) barricades over and around the Speed River bridge and other misc work), it appears that the final pave is happening! Hype! 401 ramp from Hwy 8 will be...

Another update from Cambridge. There was a CTV News Kitchener story done on the widening, looks like the opening will be in July. Looks like they are tying up loose ends (small sections of paving, concrete pouring) and will be getting ready for the big final pave soon. They’ll likely be...

Update on the 401 through Cambridge, for those who don’t travel out there often. Most of the construction equipment has been moved out of the area in the last 2 weeks, there is a crew near Speedsville road on the EB side and a container heading towards Hespler, that’s pretty much it. There is a...

The new lane realignment on the EB 401 after Creditview is an absolute disaster. I know realignments take people a while to get used to but to only have a SINGLE LANE for the entrance to the express after Mavis is extremely poor planning in my opinion. Every day now there are people just...

I've noticed they have cut all the trees down on either side of the Second Line West bridge (plus where the new collectors lanes will be!!). Is there a date set set as of yet when the bridge will actually come down? There is such a lack on information on this project, other than the minimal...

Does anyone have any new pics of the final (for now) alignment of the start and end of this new phase? I am curious how it looks from the overpasses. I don't live in the area, just pass through everyday. Thanks

So I have noticed over the past couple months some work was being done on the 2nd Line West bridge. It looks like they removed some concrete down to the rebar on the support stands and then they filled recently with new concrete. Now they are doing some digging on the side of the highway near...

I will continue to hope and dream....

So I know that the 401 expansion project is, for some reason, nowhere to be found on the `Southern Highways Program`website, but I found this little tidbit about 2nd Line being removed on the City of Mississauga website: http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/residents/secondlinewest It states...
