Highway 427 northbound near Pearson airport?

February 23, 2017 8:03 AM

Can anyone tell me what is happening with Hwy 427 (in Mississauga, Ontario) as it goes northbound past Pearson airport? It seems to have been under construction for a very long time. But nothing seems to have happened for a very long time and it looks like there are three or four completed, unused lanes just sitting there to the west of the over-congested lanes. What is the problem??? What are they waiting for?

Have you tried contacting the Ministry of Transportation? You can probably get this answer from 511, but other contact details here.

Could be part of the rehabilitation of 5 bridges at the interchange of Hwy. 427 and Hwy. 401, or the Highway 427 Expansion. The latter is pretty long-term, with extra space being taken up for HOV lanes and tolling.
