Highway 413 promised for western GTA will not be tolled, but Ford and ministers not releasing detailed cost breakdown or construction schedule
Highway 413 would connect the junction of Highway 401 and Highway 407 to the terminus of Highway 410, and continue on eastward to Highway 400 south of King Road, spanning four to six lanes and 59 kilometres.
“Sitting there and telling people to get on their bicycle, or get behind a horse and buggy to start driving, that just doesn’t cut it,” he said. “We are moving forward with the procurement process – we want that procurement process to be as competitive as possible,” Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney said.
“Highway 413 won't give Ontario families the relief they need,” Del Duca said. “But it will pave over the Greenbelt and destroy farmland, while helping Ford's rich friends get richer.”Ford and Mulroney defended the proposed highway, saying the area it passes between cannot handle continued population growth without it.
