The Government of Ontario is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to design an extension of Highway 410 that will connect to the future Highway 413.
“Our government is making historic investments in highway infrastructure to get drivers in the GTA and Ontario out of gridlock,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation.
The province is seeking proposals to design a 9.1-kilometre extension from Highway 410 at Countryside Drive north to Highway 413, and from Highway 413 west to Highway 10. This extension will give drivers a direct link between the two highways, cutting travel times and relieving gridlock on local roads. Once complete, Highway 413 will extend from Highway 400 in the east to the Highway 401/407 interchange in the west.
The extension of Highway 410 is one of several projects underway as work begins on the new Highway 413 corridor. In August, Ontario awarded the first two construction contracts to build Highway 413. In addition, the province recently completed upgrades to the Highway 401/407 interchange, the western terminus of Highway 413.
“RCCAO welcomes the Ontario’s Governments RFP for Highway 410’s extension to support the future construction of Highway 413. Today’s news caps off a year of progress on legislative, regulatory, and tendering preparatory work by the province to advance building Highway 413 and bring much needed critical infrastructure to one of the fastest growing regions of the province,” said Nadia Todorova, executive director, Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario (RCCAO).
Extending Highway 410 to connect with the future Highway 413 one project planned by the province, that includes $30 billion in total investments to build and upgrade roads, highways and bridges across Ontario, including Highway 413, the Bradford Bypass, the twinning of the Garden City Skyway and widening of major highways such as Highway 401 and the QEW.
“Today’s announcement marks another significant project within the province’s multi-billion-dollar infrastructure and transportation plan, and a project that brings us another step closer to building Highway 413. This work will help connect thousands of Ontarians, support economic growth, and create new opportunities for skilled trades workers. We look forward to seeing Highway 413 continue to move forward and getting shovels in the ground to build the critical infrastructure needed for Ontario’s future,” said Patrick McManus, executive director, Ontario Sewer and Watermain Construction Association (OSWCA)
