Projects Beyond 2014
The Southern Highways Program outlines the projects that will be constructed over the next five years. These projects will ensure that we continue to support growth and address existing highway congestion by expanding and enhancing safety and efficiency on our highways.
The government is aware of the need to plan for the long-term to ensure a first-class transportation infrastructure for the future. The Ministry of Transportation continuously evaluates anticipated transportation needs. Potential future directions include
- Identifying and implementing transportation solutions on strategic transportation corridors.
- Evaluating options for transit and other modes of transportation.
- Optimizing, expanding or extending existing highways
- Planning new multi-modal transportation corridors.
Identified on the following page and on the “Planning for the Future” map are some projects in the planning stages to support growth and economic activities, improve traffic flow and enhance safety in southern Ontario. While the list includes projects that are not part of the current five-year construction plan, they are subject to further study and prioritization and may be considered for future construction.
In addition, the Ontario government is working in partnership with Canada, the United States and the State of Michigan on the Detroit River International crossing, and is committed to working with these partners to deliver a new river crossing, access road and inspection plazas by 2014.
