Highway 413 Construction
Highway 413 is a proposed 400-series highway across the northwest Greater Toronto Area, linking Halton, Peel and York regions. Provincial legislation exempts it from a full environmental assessment to speed construction. Supporters say it eases gridlock and supports growth. Opponents cite farmland, Greenbelt and wetland losses, and note studies estimating limited time savings. Early works are underway while legal and Indigenous consultation questions continue.
