If you regularly use the 401 to travel through the GTA (which many of you probably do), there are an upcoming Highway 401 lane closures that you might want to be aware of.
Brampton residents who plan on driving through Mississauga this weekend should note that the westbound 401 between Hurontario Street and Mississauga Road will be completely closed from 11:00 pm on Friday, Nov. 2 to 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018.
The closure is in place because of an ongoing project to widen the 401 from east of McLaughlin Rd. to the Credit River.
The closure will be implemented to facilitate the transfer of the westbound traveled lanes from the existing lanes to the newly constructed future collector lanes.
