About the Project
The purpose of the study is to identify a Recommended Plan that addresses current and future transportation needs in the study area as part of the Ministry’s ongoing review of safety and operational needs for the provincial highway network.
This Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study on Highway 401 includes the replacement of three bridges and two structural culverts, determining the long-term interchange configurations at Wesleyille Road and County Road 2 (Toronto Road) and identifying the future Highway 401 footprint for Highway 401 to an interim eight-lane and ultimate ten-lane cross-section from 100 m east of East Townline Road to 100 m west of Cranberry Road for a total length of approximately 11 km.
The study also includes:
- developing and evaluating alternatives
- identifying appropriate improvements
- determining potential impacts
- outlining environmental protection/mitigation measures
A Recommended Plan will be confirmed and designated (protected) at the completion of the study.
