The Government of Ontario has awarded the first two contracts to begin construction of Highway 413, that will connect the regions of York, Peel and Halton, shortening travel times by up to 30 minutes per trip.
“Highway 413 is at the centre of our plan to get drivers in the GTA and across Ontario out of gridlock, and we’re getting it done,” said Premier Doug Ford. “In the face of U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty, we’re awarding critical construction contracts faster so we can get shovels in the ground on major infrastructure projects, keep Ontario’s economy going and keep thousands of workers on the job across the province.”
Ford made the announcement in Caledon, where work is beginning to resurface Highway 10 in preparation for a new bridge over the future Highway 413. Crews will also soon begin upgrades at the Highway 401/407 interchange, which will be the western terminus of Highway 413. Once Highway 413 is complete, it will run from the Highway 401/407 interchange near Mississauga, Milton and Halton Hills to Highway 400 in Vaughan, with extensions to Highways 410 and 427.
“The Highway 413 corridor will be a big help for our villages by supporting the extension of Highway 410 and easing traffic congestion on Highway 10 and in Caledon Village. It will also spur the extension of Highway 427 and reduce the number of heavy trucks traveling on Highway 50. This transportation project will provide much-needed capacity and better connections throughout Caledon. It will support the growth we’re planning while helping to keep the unique character and vibrant spirit of our community intact,” said Annette Groves, Mayor of Caledon.
