Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Townline Road

[sevenman]

^ Incorrect  There will be 3 through lanes + 2 flyover lanes. There is not enough space for 7 lanes.

  What happens to those two flyover lanes when they reach hwy 24?

  Also, in the next 5 years Hwy 401 is proposed to be widened to four lanes in each direction between Homer Watson and the current construction as part of the new Hwy 8 to Hwy 401 WB and Hwy 401 EB to Hwy 8 flyover contract.  Not sure how a fourth EB lane would merge into an existing 3-lane situation?

  The Fountain St. Bridge was lengthened to accommodate those numbers beneath it.  Moving the flyover lanes further to the right (south) on the other side of the column certainly provides the room for those additional lanes.  There were already five lanes ( 3 + 2 flyover) before they started any construction and now they've moved two lanes further to the right so there is definitely the room.

  I guess we'll see?
