Primarily it is because the bridges through Milton are quite old and need replacement soon. So they're replacing the bridges with wider ones because of that but also because they expect the 401 to be much wider through that in the future. The contract to extend the collector/express to Milton is not too far off. It could be out as early as 2018 spring. Keep in mind though that not all the bridges being widened will see collector/express passing through them. The express collector will extend to RR 25 and then it should narrow down to 10 lanes west of that. The any widening west of RR 25 will probably be a separate contract though.
