Construction will begin this fall, Ontario transportation minister Steve Del Duca said Tuesday, promising the road will be publicly-owned and have lower tolls than private 407 ETR.
The province has awarded a $1.2 billion contract for the second phase of toll Highway 407 with construction beginning this fall, Transportation Minister Steve Del Duca announced Tuesday.
But unlike the existing highway, the 23-kilometre 407 extension eastward from Harmony Road in Oshawa to Highway 35/115 will be publicly owned, said Del Duca, adding the tolls will be lower than those charged by the privately-owned 407 ETR.
