Ontario is taking a concrete step toward an idea Premier Doug Ford has championed to build a tunnel under Highway 401.
Ford has spoken often of the need to address gridlock and railed against lost productivity as a result of it. He first raised the idea last fall of building a tunnel under Highway 401.
In response to concerns about a project of that size potentially costing tens of billions of dollars he has said the province would do a feasibility study, however, he has pledged to get the tunnel built regardless.
