Glad to see some sense from the media about Highway 413 and the 401-407-413 situation in general.

I will put the new eastbound Leslie off ramp here since it has to deal with highways than the GO Station, though it does effect the current GO station. There are some photos of it in the GO construction thread, but not with the steel as it wasn't there then.
Curve bathtub steel being used for the new ramp.
The retraining wall is no less than 4 inches away from the stair handrail for the new overhead walkway. The retaining wall is being built using large interlocking precast panel

Historic look here at the Scarborough Expressway. Contains lots of maps.

If you look closely you can still see lots of signs of that expressway in satellite images. Subdivisions designed to back onto it, new subdivisions built on lands the city sold after it was cancelled, etc.
For example, Darlingsbridge Drive curves here to provide for the cancelled expressway to curve up and meet the 401. You can also see some new houses along Manse Rd. that are on some of the lands the city sold.
Portia Street here is also in the former right of way. These two subdivisions are also on former right of way. And this one. And this one. And these ones. This one. This one. And this one.

Most drivers can't navigate properly in two dimensions, do not ever ever ever give them three.

It is best to leave 4D driving to the AI.

This is not happening on the 401 HOV lanes expansion through mississauga and milton, and there is nothing in the OPSS that states the particular roadway design, that is up to the Contracting Authority.

Maybe they thought that the HOV lanes won't need to hold up as well as the general lanes as heavy tucks are prohibited on them. MTO requires them to hold up for a certain number of years even through I highly doubt they go after them if the roadway fails to do so. Just look at how they do with contracting snow removal and only half the job is done.

The HOV lane expansion is a resurfacing of the entire 401 between RR 25 and Credit River. None of the freeway has a concrete base.
Source: I'm looking at the drawings right now.

Yes - what is the point of redoing the express lanes with concrete? It only delays everything.

Anyone have updates on the highway 427 opening? I've driven by there a few times this week and it looks pretty much complete

There are still deficiencies to be done and some of them are weather dependent. I would say in the spring it would open.
