On ontroads they are saying this is for the widening to 4/5 lanes.

The Ministry of Transportation undertook a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and Preliminary Design Study in 2007 to investigate highway improvements to approximately 12 km of Highway 7, from Brock Road in Pickering to approximately 0.2 km east of Highway 7/12, in Whitby. The Detail Design for the widening of Highway 7 to four lanes from east of Brock Road (the current terminus of the 4 lane section) in the City of Pickering to approximately 200 m east of Highway 7/12 (on Winchester Road East) in the Town of Whitby, a distance of approximately 12 km is currently underway. The purpose of the project is to address the existing highway deficiencies. The Highway 7 improvements will consist of a new carpool lot east of Halls Road, implementing left turn lanes at all unsignalized intersections and providing exclusive right turn lanes at signalized intersections, improvements to 13 crossing roads at the intersections and approaches including new signals at the four signalized intersections, widening of the East Duffins Creek Bridge and replacement of the bridge deck, drainage improvements including 22 culvert replacements and new storm sewers where necessary, and the Hwy 7 / Hwy 407 bridge underpass to be realigned to the north of the existing highway between Cochrane Street and Ashburn Road.
