King's Highway 406 - Thorold Construction

During the 2006 and 2007 construction seasons, Highway 406 will be widened from a 2-lane at-grade expressway to a 4-lane freeway between Port Robinson Road and the current end of the divided freeway about 1km south of Beaverdams Road. This construction is expected to be completed by mid-Summer 2007.
