Province issuing notice of procurement for eastern third of the highway and awarding contract for Highway 410 construction manager
CALEDON — Today, the Ontario government has issued a notice of procurement to design and build the east section of Highway 413 as well as the Highway 427 Extension. The contract represents approximately one third of the corridor, marking a key milestone in the delivery of this priority project and in the province’s plan to reduce gridlock and drive economic growth across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Once awarded, the contract is expected to be the largest infrastructure procurement ever issued by the Ministry of Transportation.
“In the face of President Trump’s tariffs, we’re doubling down on our plan to build so we can get people moving and keep Ontario workers on the job,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation. “Highway 413 will reduce travel times across the GTA while supporting more than 6,000 jobs per year during construction and contributing more than $1 billion to Ontario’s GDP.”
Following the notice of procurement, a request for proposals (RFP) will be issued later this fall for the design and construction of the east section of Highway 413 from Highway 400 to west of The Gore Road. The RFP will also include the extension of Highway 427 from Major Mackenzie Drive north to Highway 413.
The Ontario government has also awarded a contract for a construction manager for the Highway 413 central contract, including the 410 Extension. The 9.1-kilometre extension from Highway 410 to Highway 413 will connect motorists to Highway 407 ETR, Highway 401 and Highway 403, unlocking access to destinations such as Burlington, Hamilton, Brantford and Woodstock.
Highway 413 will have a total of 11 interchanges at municipal roads across the GTA, reducing travel times by as much as 30 minutes per trip compared to existing roads while accommodating up to 300,000 vehicles each day. The highway will ease congestion on 400-series highways across Toronto, Halton, Peel and York Region by keeping people and goods moving while slashing travel times across the region.
