Highway 401 expansion project
Additional lanes in Mississauga and Milton will make travel times shorter
The purpose of Highway 401 Project is to widen and reconstruct parts of Highway 401 in the western Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
The Project, currently in the design phase, will add:

- Median High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
- Support facilities and features including drainage, lighting, signage, an Advanced Traffic Management System and carpool lots.
Construction is expected to be completed by late 2022.
