$1.6 billion highway to link 401 with new international bridge at Windsor

“But it's also a crucial factor in the attraction of new investment.”

- The most expensive highway ever built in Ontario will link Highway 401 with a new international bridge to be built over the Detroit River in Windsor, the federal and Ontario governments announced Thursday.

Construction is expected to start next year on the $1.6 billion, 12 kilometre stretch of six-lane "below grade roadway," which will run through Windsor and the neighbouring communities of Tecumseh and LaSalle.

The new highway will include 11 tunnel sections stretching about two kilometres, while other parts will be built below-grade to minimize the impact of traffic noise and exhaust on neighbourhoods. The project will also create about 240 acres of park land and 20 kilometres of recreational trails. Read more
