Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Townline Road

[jamincan]

All the EAs (Grand River Bridge and Hespeler-Townline) refer to 10 lanes with HOV from the Grand River through to Townline, but it is my understanding that when they announced the bridge replacement for the Grand River recently, that they explicitly said it would remain 6 lanes for the time being even though the bridge would be widened to accommodate 10 lanes (does someone have a link to articles? I had no luck when i searched for them). I expect we will therefore still only see 6 lanes continue past Hwy 8 for the time being until some other future expansion, maybe when they finally add Hwy 8 access to the 401 west.
