This is also the most busiest section of the 401 as all the freight traffic from Rexdale industrial area is trying to get somewhere. Perhaps if some of these traffic can be rerouted to the 427 North to the 413.

Or 407; it's already there, they jut need better rates.This is also the most busiest section of the 401 as all the freight traffic from Rexdale industrial area is trying to get somewhere. Perhaps if some of these traffic can be rerouted to the 427 North to the 413.
There's also this no-person land called Pearson Airport, that detours traffic around it.This is also the most busiest section of the 401 as all the freight traffic from Rexdale industrial area is trying to get somewhere. Perhaps if some of these traffic can be rerouted to the 427 North to the 413.
Is there any information that DVP will become 404 or Gardiner will become QEW after the upload?The province is going to take over the DVP and the Gardiner
‘Historic new deal:’ Ontario agrees to take over Gardiner Expressway and DVP
The Doug Ford government will take responsibility for the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway from Toronto, a move that could ultimately save the city billions.www.cp24.com
This will take some time getting used to:

Good point; although they could re-designate the QEW back to where the lions used to live, since I assume it is still up to standard.Doubt it. The DVP and the Metro-built Gardiner are not built to 400-series standards. I expect they will be given 7000-series numbers for internal use.
I have a feeling that planning a full 401 connection is the next step in the process after they get this initial section past the design phase. This project can move this fast because a lot of work has been done in advance - the right-of-way for a twin roadway is already graded most of the way through and functionally just requires a handful of new overpasses and interchanges, with very little of this being on a new alignment.It would be nice if they extended the St.Thomas by-pass to the 401. As it is this is a pretty marginal improvement to bypass a stoplight in Talbotville.
