An improved connection between Hamilton and Highway 401 is a step closer to reality.
Caroline Mulroney, Ontario’s Minister of Transportation, has announced the approval of phase two of the construction of the Morriston bypass.
Phase two involves building a new interchange that will connect the 401 to Highway 6.
Mulroney says construction will begin as soon as the design work is complete, possibly this year, with a goal of completing the new interchange in 2025.
