The Ontario government has awarded the first two contracts to begin construction of Highway 413. Once completed, the highway will connect the regions of York, Peel and Halton in the Greater Toronto Area, shortening travel times by up to 30 minutes per trip across the span.<\/p>\n

Despite the presence of protesters rallying against the project, Premier Doug Ford, announced that Fermar Paving has received the first construction contract for the project \u2013 to build an embankment at the Highway 401\/407 interchange. A second contract was also awarded, which will see Pave-Al handle the resurfacing of Highway 10 in Caledon.<\/p>\n

Ford explained that the contracts mark a significant milestone in the province\u2019s plan to fight gridlock and get drivers moving across the Greater Toronto Area, and that the construction of the highway will support more than 6,000 jobs per year, contributing more than $1 billion to Ontario\u2019s annual GDP.<\/p>\n

\u201cHighway 413 is at the centre of our plan to get drivers in the GTA and across Ontario out of gridlock, and we\u2019re getting it done,\u201d he stated. \u201cIn the face of U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty, we\u2019re awarding critical construction contracts faster so we can get shovels in the ground on major infrastructure projects, keep Ontario\u2019s economy going and keep thousands of workers on the job across the province.\u201d<\/p>\n

Premier Ford made the announcement in Caledon, where Pave-Al is beginning to resurface Highway 10 in preparation for a new bridge over the future Highway 413. Fermar\u2019s work on the Highway 401\/407 interchange \u2013 the western terminus of Highway 413 \u2013 will begin soon.<\/p>\n

Once Highway 413 is complete, it will run from the Highway 401\/407 interchange near Mississauga, Milton and Halton Hills to Highway 400 in Vaughan, with extensions to Highways 410 and 427.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongestion costs Ontario up to $56 billion each year. Investments like Highway 413 are critical to reversing that trend,\u201d said Steven Crombie, senior director of public affairs at the Ontario Road Builders\u2019 Association. \u201cOur industry is proud to play a role in building the infrastructure that will keep people and goods moving efficiently while delivering long-term economic and community benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHighway 413 will bring much-needed transportation and transit capacity to the fastest-growing region of the GTA. This project is not just a highway, but a generational investment in economic growth, connectivity and opportunity for communities across the region,\u201d added Nadia Todorova, executive director of the Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario. \u201cThe Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario is delighted to see construction of this critical infrastructure begin and will continue its steadfast support for the project to help build a better future for Ontario.\u201d<\/p>\n
