Doug Ford was returned to office in February, for the third time.  You get to do what you want when you are re-elected.  And that is just what they are doing with the Hwy 413 project.

These Early Works projects are located in areas where engineering design and field investigations have progressed, and were chosen by the MTO because they are either in areas that are, or were previously disturbed, and where the likelihood of environmental impacts is low.

The development is now in an Early Works stage; initiatives that take place early in the construction process to lay the foundation for many of the construction activities to follow.

The Early Works projects associated with  Highway 413 are identified in the Highway 413 Act, 2024. These Early Works projects are located in areas where engineering design and field investigations have progressed, and were chosen by the MTO because they are either in areas that are, or were previously disturbed, and where the likelihood of environmental impacts is low. Some Early Works are also located in areas that have been identified by local municipalities for additional infrastructure improvements.
