This expansion will be, for the next 10 years, a godsend to Mississauga.
It will be more than enough capacity to get through Mississauga at rush hour.
However, for those continuing through in the morning (inbound) commute, it will mean that cars get to the backup at the 427 sooner. That backup, on the 401 next to Pearson, will become noticeably larger. Anyone whose commute uses that section of the 401 but not the widened part, will see more, slower traffic than before, since the 401 will be able to pipe more in to the existing bottlenecks.
