Ontario is considering expanding an 11-kilometre stretch of Highway 401 through Port Hope from six to as many as 10 lanes to address aging infrastructure and future traffic demands.
The preliminary design includes replacing three bridges and two structural culverts, along with long-term interchange plans for Wesleyville Road and County Road 2.
The province is inviting public feedback on the proposal by Dec. 7. An environmental study report is tentatively scheduled for spring or summer 2028, followed by detailed design and construction planning.
