Given how long the widenings take (three years for this one, for example), they tend to start them early. They have also started the widening between Mississauga and Milton. Once those are done, I expect they'll be widening the remaining distance between Cambridge and Milton, whether the traffic at that time warrants it or not. I think the complete widening to 4+ lanes between Toronto and Cambridge will take to somewhere close to 2030, and they are working with their traffic projections for that same timeline.
It's not like widening a single city street that can typically be done in a single construction season.
As little as I personally drive on the 401, and as much as I hate that driving experience, it's pretty much a necessary evil, for both people and goods. Even if we do get the all-day two-way GO (at an improved speed?) the 401 traffic will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
