Must be nice to have all that spare time.

yeah must be nice
I drove in the new collectors westbound at rush hour. They really seem to have made a much bigger difference than I expected. There was a bit of congestion at the new merge point, but it was much less severe than it used to be back at the 410/403.
Looks like they were putting up light posts today in the westbound collectors between Hurontario and Mavis. And there's a lane closure this weekend westbound at Hurontario, according to the sign anyway.
The signs say that 2 lanes of the Express westbound will be closed, starting Friday at 9PM. I didn't catch the end time. There looked to be a different sign in the collectors, but I was unable to see what it said.

Maybe if you're getting off at Hurontario and not going any further...
Nope. I was going past Milton. Maybe it was a fluke, but it was far less severe than it usually was in the past.
I know, it's terrible. I take it all the time. Have you tried it since the new lanes opened though? I've only done it once, but it really seemed to make a difference. There was no traffic at all up to the 410 going westbound. I'm sure the 410 is as congested as ever.
