Widening Highway 401 to Keep People Moving

Ministry of Transportation

Expansion Project will Help Manage Congestion and Improve Commutes

Mississauga, ON – Apr 10, 2017

Ontario is creating jobs and keeping people moving by widening 18 kilometers of Highway 401 from the Credit River in Mississauga to Regional Road 25 in Milton.

The Highway 401 Expansion project includes adding HOV lanes in each direction and widening the existing six lane configuration to:
•Twelve lanes from the Credit River to Winston Churchill Boulevard
•Ten lanes from Winston Churchill Boulevard to Highway 407 ETR / Highway 401 interchange
•Twelve lanes from Highway 407 ETR / Highway 401 interchange to James Snow Parkway
•Ten lanes from the James Snow Parkway to Regional Road 25

Widening the 401 will relieve congestion, allow for a more efficient transportation and flow of goods, and will help accommodate continued population and employment growth in the region.

Ontario is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, public transit, roads and bridges in the province’s history. To learn more about what’s happening in your community, go to Ontario.ca/BuildON.

Investing in better highways to keep people moving is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.
