Yo, to my amazement, they closed off the entrances to the highway 401 this morning, even closed the gate and put pylons, but did not put any advance signage on any of the roads that lead to the expressway. They did this to the Mavis Entrance, the Highway 10 Entrance, and possibly even the dixie entrance (couldnt check dixie it was too far away)
What they should do is erect a sign somewhere like a block or 2 away from the highway interchange, which gives motorists enough time to plan an alternate route. they could easily put a recommended alternate route also, like "use 403 instead" lol its the small things that the MTO doesnt do that annoys motorists.
While I was driving on the overpass I saw that the traffic was down to one lane eastbound, not sure what they were doing? were they moving traffic from the express to the collectors to demolish the old highway 10 bridge support walls?
