Doug Ford Proposes $60 Billion Tunnel Under Highway 401

Ontario Premier Ford unveils ambitious plan for a 55-kilometre tunnel to tackle Toronto's traffic congestion.

Ford's proposal includes a combined traffic and transit tunnel beneath Highway 401, potentially stretching up to 55 kilometers.
Experts estimate the project could cost tens of billions of dollars and take years to complete.
Ford's government considered buying back Highway 407 before opting for the tunnel project.
Opposition parties argue the plan is too costly and suggest alternatives like paying 407 tolls for trucks.
A feasibility study will be conducted to assess the project's viability and cost.
