Doug Ford's plan to build a new expressway under Highway 401 could cost tens of billions of dollars .

Ford unveiled his plan Wednesday morning to commission a feasibility study to work out how to tunnel under the highway.

Ford insisted that this was a plan he would push ahead, whatever the results of the study.

The cost of the tunnelled highway project remains an open question.

The government said it won’t publish the cost until a contract has been awarded.

Siemiatycki pointed to examples around North America , including the Muskrat Falls hydro dam in Newfoundland which saw a federal bailout offered to the province.

“It’s one of these circumstances where things that seem bold and ambitious at the outset can become a boondoggle and a quagmire over time,” he said.
