Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced plans to explore building a substantial tunnel beneath Highway 401, connecting Brampton and Scarborough to enhance transit and driving options.
The Ministry of Transportation will conduct an internal feasibility study to estimate costs and timelines for the proposed 55-kilometre tunnel infrastructure, expected to be among the largest in the world.
Ford emphasized that his government would maintain transparency regarding costs for this tunnel project, contrasting with past reluctance to disclose estimated costs for Highway 413.
This announcement arrives amid hints of an early provincial election, indicating Ford's strategic positioning ahead of Ontario's next scheduled election in 2026.
