Doug Ford says he wants to build a tunnel under Hwy. 401

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he wants to build a tunnel under Highway 401 that would stretch from Brampton to Scarborough.

Citing increasing gridlock and little room for highway expansion at a news conference Wednesday morning, Ford says his government will begin studying the technical feasibility of building a tunnel stretching across the GTA under the country’s busiest highway.

“This tunnel and expressway will cut gridlock support economic growth and help get people moving faster,” Ford said.

Ford did not provide an estimate for how much a tunnel might cost.
