An 18 kilometre portion of Highway 401 through Mississauga and Milton is getting bigger.
The province announcing Monday that highway widening will take place from the Credit River in Mississauga to HWY 25 in Milton.
This will include adding HOV lanes in that stretch.
Minister of Transportation, Steven Del Duca says, “Highway 401 is a critical highway for commuters and commercial traffic traveling throughout Ontario and the United States. The addition of both HOV and general purpose lanes is further proof of the province’s commitment to making improvements that will help us manage congestion and improve mobility in the daily commutes of Ontarians travelling across the region.”
The expansion includes widening the six lane portion of highway 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
The move builds on plans announced last year to double the width of a four kilometre stretch of Highway 401 in Mississauga from Hurontario Street to the Credit River.
