Note that there is another cloverleaf in Ontario. The 401-4 junction in London. Although it too might get rebuilt in the next few years https://www.google.com/maps/@42.8525762,-81.2758706,16z

Because some bozos didn't have the foresight to make the overpasses long enough on Winston Churchill and 407ETR to accomidate a collector-express system on the 401. These are 'relatively' new overpasses. You'd think they would have learned from the 401-427 junction but nope.

110 is a start. This is a pilot project. Perhaps they might try 120 at a future date.

They are starting with a pilot project - probably a lightly used 400-series stretch. Probably one with a good design standard. Where may it be? 401 between Woodstock and Kitchener? 402? 403 between Woodstock & Hamilton? Those are my guesses. Will trucks be allowed to go the same speed? What...

Over the long weekend I drove the 401 from London to Windsor & back and the 402 from London to Sarina & back. Difference is night and day. 402 is much better designed. Wide grass median, straighter sections. There are also tall grasses and trees in the 402 median that help reduce noise and...

Don't forget that the ridings in Windsor & London went NDP. Kitchener Centre & Waterloo also went NDP. Playing politics, makes sense the PCs put a hold to this plan.

401 widening Tilbury to London More details from the London Free Press: PCs keeping promise with $1B highway expansion https://lfpress.com/news/local-news/pcs-keeping-promise-with-1b-highway-expansion/wcm/ad10eb66-743f-452b-a000-d5ef5fa4f0ee There's also some convo about it happening on...

A lot of sections of the 401 between Tilbury and London have recently been reconstructed as well. The drainage seems to be properly designed for a 4-lane grass median highway. Filling in the median on these rebuilt stretches may cause a lot of headaches when it comes to the slope of the...

As an outsider of Greater Toronto, I think you guys need whatever you can get as fast as possible. It may not be exactly want you wanted or needed, but it is something. This is what Douggie is trying to do. He is going around the city, environmental assessments, community engagement, etc. as...

A bypass of a bypass. Bedford Bypass would be triple bypass surgery.

The decision to scrap the north and west routes was finalized yesterday. London's BRT system will only go south, east, and loop around the downtown core. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/london-ontario-bus-rapid-transit-1.5073014...

Looks like 3/5 components of the BRT system may actually be saved. https://lfpress.com/news/local-news/coun-phil-squire-raises-provincial-flexibility-to-put-brakes-on-london-transit-decisions https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/brt-london-transit-1.5070330 ...For this city I will take this...

London seems to be a good cash cow for upper levels of government. We pay for projects for other cities but apparently don't get much ourselves because we don't want it.

I wouldn't say London is a hick town, but it is afraid of change and stuck in a small-town mentality. ----- City hall unveils alternative projects as BRT dismantling effort pushes ahead...

Interesting CBC article about the BRT changes... if you can even call it BRT. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/london-transit-projects-1.5052808

The LTC (London Transit Comission) has operated articulated buses here since 2003 without any issues.

London is currently in a last min scramble to decide if we want a Bus Rapid Transit network. It heavily contrasts to the cancelled freeway network plan that was in a last min scramble. Some interesting history here from a 3-part documentary from CTV London Part 1...

The 407 ETR has already reached full build out in terms of lane count in some sections, so further widening would require a complete rebuild of the corridor, including many of the interchanges and overpasses. ...That won't happen any time soon as that kind of work would cost a lot of money...
