"This will be the new look of the widened Highway 401 between Hespeler Road and Highway 8 in about two years. The Ministry of Transportation's target completion date for all that work, which is still in the bidding process, is 2016."
November 2018?
November 2019?
Does anyone have a confirmed completion date?
The Ontario government seems to have "mission creep" on most projects outside the GTA ... November 2020?
Actually, this contract is moving along right on schedule. It was awarded in 2015 and construction started in 2015 with a completion date of Summer 2019. All indications look as if they will meet that date.
What may make it seem longer is the Speedsville and Fountain street bridge replacements and the refurbishing of the flyover from Hwy 8 to 401 started in 2014.
