Construction season is on time this year, starting with the closure of Highway 40 at the 401. 
Starting April 18th, Highway 40 between Pinehurst Line and Horton Line will be completely closed, including the 401 on and off ramps.
The Highway 40 bridge will be demolished at the end of April – shutting down that section of the 401 for 3 days.
Construction on Highway 40 is expected to last until late November.
According to the Ministry of Transportation, this project will improve the operational and capacity needs of this section of the 401 and Highway 40, and will accommodate future widening of the 401 to 8 lanes.
