Ontario added 134 km of lanes to Highway 401. Its key bottleneck didn’t get better | Globalnews.ca
68% Informative
Ontario began and completed 134 km of new lanes along Highway 401 between 2016 and 2024 .
New lanes were built along the length of the highway, which stretches from the U.S. border in the west through the gridlocked Toronto area.
The government said the new lanes were never meant to alleviate congestion along the bottleneck.
The province is pledging that two new highways will help the situation.
Highway 413 will allow drivers to bypass parts of Toronto and therefore remove traffic from the most congested portion of Highway 401 , the province contends.
The government’s entire Greater Holden Horseshow plan taken together is projected to result in travel times of 53 minutes along the corridor, at an average speed of 26 km /h by 2051 — more than double the 25 minutes it took in 2016 .
