The Government of Ontario has announced $6 million to resurface sections of the eastbound and westbound lanes on Highway 401 from Westbrook Road to Highway 15 in Kingston. The project will also include four ramps at the Sir John A. Macdonald interchange.
“Investments like these are critical to Kingston’s growth and prosperity,” said Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson. “By improving Highway 401 and its infrastructure, we are not only enhancing safety and reducing traffic congestion, but also strengthening our city’s connection to vital trade routes.
“This project will benefit local families, businesses, and our economy for years to come.”
Concrete repairs will be completed on two bridges between Sydenham Road and Highway 15.
In August 2024, the province completed major improvements to the Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge that serves as an important connection to Highway 401 for communities in Prince Edward County.
“Highway 401 is a vital link for communities in eastern Ontario, connecting families, workers and businesses to Quebec, the United States and beyond,” said Hastings–Lennox and Addington MPP Ric Breese. “Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government will continue to invest in highways and roads to tackle gridlock and get drivers where they need to go.”
