Ontario has issued a procurement notice to design and construct the eastern third of Highway 413 and the Hwy. 427 extension, marking one of the largest infrastructure procurements in the province's history. The project, which Premier Doug Ford has repeatedly touted as crucial for reducing gridlock in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), will cover the stretch of Highway 413 from Highway 400 to west of The Gore Road, representing roughly one-third of the full corridor.
A formal request for proposals (RFP) will follow later this fall, outlining detailed design and construction requirements. The same RFP will include the Hwy. 427 Extension, running from Major Mackenzie Drive north to Highway 413. The project is expected to reduce travel times by up to 30 minutes per trip, support over 6,000 jobs annually during construction, and contribute more than $1 billion to Ontario's GDP.
