In 2008, MTO received clearance for an EA that recommended operational, safety and expansion measures on Highway 417 from Highway 416 to Anderson Road. Although the focus of this study is rehabilitation or replacement of the bridges within the study area, this study will take into account the recommendations of the previous study. For example, one of the staging alternatives under consideration would be to build the EA approved widening to minimize traffic impacts during construction. Recommended alternatives from this study will not preclude implementation of the previously identified widening.
