The Government of Ontario announced it has issued a notice of procurement to design and build the east section of Highway 413 as well as the Highway 427 Extension.
The contract represents approximately one third of the corridor. Once awarded, the province said the contract is expected to be the largest infrastructure procurement ever issued by the Ministry of Transportation.
“Highway 413 will reduce travel times across the GTA while supporting more than 6,000 jobs per year during construction and contributing more than $1 billion to Ontario’s GDP,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation.
Following the notice of procurement, a request for proposals (RFP) will be issued later this fall for the design and construction of the east section of Highway 413 from Highway 400 to west of The Gore Road. The RFP will also include the extension of Highway 427 from Major Mackenzie Drive north to Highway 413.
The Ontario government has also awarded a contract for a construction manager for the Highway 413 central contract, including the 410 Extension. The 9.1-kilometre extension from Highway 410 to Highway 413 will connect motorists to Highway 407 ETR, Highway 401 and Highway 403, unlocking access to destinations such as Burlington, Hamilton, Brantford and Woodstock.
Infrastructure Partners of Ontario, a joint venture consisting of Miller Paving, GIP, and Amico has been awarded the construction manager contract for the Highway 410 Extension.
The province awarded the detail design contract for the Highway 413 central contract, including the 410 Extension to Parsons Inc. / Egis Canada Ltd. Joint Venture in June 2026.
The Program Management contract for overseeing the overall design, coordination and construction of Highway 413 was awarded to 413 Continuity Partners, a Joint Venture consisting of AECOM and WSP, in July 2026.
