I doubt it. MTO just built a roundabout on 140 just north of this site and it wasn't designed as a 4-lane roundabout, which tells me that MTO has no significant plans to upgrade 140 any time soon. Which is honestly kind of surprising as AADT on the highway is in the 10-14,000 range.. which while not crazy high, is high enough that MTO would usually be thinking about a long-term upgrade.With the announcement of this plant, I am interested to see if the province will now be looking to potentially extend HWY 406 south along the HWY 140 ROW.
I guess they will in due time. Not only is this parcel of land strategically locatied next to the canal to the west for shipping purposes. I think the rail line to the north of the property that runs underneath the canal for freight purposes. Could also potentially run the future Mid Peninsula Corridor highway beside the railway for vehicular services . That will eventually connect the city of Hamilton to the town of Fort Erie via Buffalo New York some day! This is why I think the choice to build here make more sense than you think lol!With the announcement of this plant, I am interested to see if the province will now be looking to potentially extend HWY 406 south along the HWY 140 ROW.
