Or rather, they are constructed, but they're waiting until they are longer than 1.5km before activating them.
Though, I was driving in Toronto rush hour last week, and I sure would have loved those HOV lanes, even in their truncated state. Those alone would have skipped about 10 minutes of crawling towards the Great Merge.
Hmm somewhat. They are not marked or signed yet, so not fully done. And with the previous phase of widening, they were not long enough to justify opening them until the completion of Phase 2 to the Credit River.
