VAUGHAN, Ont. — Premier Doug Ford announced the launch of the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the construction of Highway 413, connecting Highway 400 to the 401/407 interchange.
Alleviating GTA Gridlock
The 52-kilometre corridor is engineered with dedicated truck bypass lanes and reserved right-of-way for future electric bus rapid transit.
"Highway 413 will save drivers up to 30 minutes each way, keeping commercial goods moving and getting workers home to their families faster," Ford said.
Environmental Mitigations
Over 20 wildlife overpasses and specialized fish-passage culverts are included in the final engineering specifications.
