Govt: 407 extension to roll out by 2020

The province announced a timeline Thursday to extend the 407 through Durham region.

The first phase, connecting Brock Road in Pickering to Simcoe Road in Oshawa will now be extended to Harmony Road by 2015.
The second phase, which will take the 407 to Highways 35/115 will be done five years later.
There’s also going to be an interim interchange at Oshawa’s Taunton Road by 2017.

Transportation minister Kathleen Wynne says all the tolling revenue will go to the provincial government but she’s not sure what the rates will be on the east extension.
“We’re not going to talk about the tolling mechanism at this point. Certainly my expectation that we will have a very good arrangement around tolling for people on our section of the road. And all that revenue will come to the provincial government.”
The Progressive Conservatives note the 407 east extension was supposed to be finished by 2013.
