Highway 401 as part of the 400-series network

Ontario provincial highway 401, The King's Highway 401, or the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, which is normally referred to simply as Highway 401 (pronounced "four-oh-one"), is a freeway that extends across Southern Ontario, Canada. It is (by far) the longest 400-Series Highway in Ontario and one of the busiest highways in the world. Together with Quebec Autoroute 20, it is the road transportation backbone of the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor along which over half of Canada's population lives.

Overview

Highway 401 begins at Highway 3, 13 km from the Detroit River on the outskirts of Windsor (not at the Michigan border as some mistakenly assume) and ends at the Quebec border, 815 km (506 mi.) away. There are 18 service station oases located along the route, allowing motorists to access services without leaving the highway. A plaque was erected at the Ivy Lea oasis, where the freeway was completed, stating that the 401 is the longest non-toll freeway under a single highway authority in North America.

Transportation corridor

The 401 is widely considered to be North America's busiest highway, with an estimated Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of over 425,000 in 2004, near the interchange with Highway 400. This surpasses the Santa Monica Freeway in Los Angeles, and several Interstate freeways in Houston, Texas. Due to its triple use as the main trade, commuting and recreational corridor in Ontario, the AADT rises to well beyond the 500,000 level on some days. The just-in-time inventory systems of the highly integrated auto industry in Michigan and Ontario have made the highway the busiest truck route in North America. The 401 also includes the continent's busiest multi-structure bridge at Hogg's Hollow in Toronto (four structures for the highway's four roadway beds). 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The 401 is one of the most important highways in Canada, as it connects the populous Southern Ontario region with Quebec and Michigan, while also connecting to most other major highways in the province. The highway also serves as the principal connection to Montreal and points east, including New England, becoming Autoroute 20 at the Quebec border. The border crossing at Windsor and Detroit is the busiest trade crossing in the world, and although the 401 itself does not physically extend the last few kilometres into Detroit, it is the only route from Toronto to Windsor and on to Interstate 75. A future expansion of the Windsor-Detroit border crossing, which will include a freeway bypass of the existing Highway 3, may result in Highway 401 having a direct freeway link to the border. Some 40 percent of Canada-US trade travels the highway, which is one-third of Canada's foreign trade, and 4 percent of all US foreign trade.

Collector-express setup

The section that now runs through Toronto was a rural roadway that was entirely outside of the Toronto city limits when first opened, and was originally referred to as the Toronto Bypass. As the city's suburbs grew, it quickly became an urban commuter road, rather than a long-distance bypass route as was originally planned, leading to extensive traffic jams. This problem was solved to some extent by implementing separate express and collector lanes, similar to the express/local set-up of the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago. By 1967 Highway 401 was widened from four lanes to 12 or more through Toronto and Mississauga. An alternative plan to the collector-express setup was to construct a bypass of Highway 401. This project was revived in 1987 and completed as toll road Highway 407 ETR to parallel Highway 401 in the Greater Toronto Area.

Today the stretch of Highway 401 that passes through the Greater Toronto Area ranges from 6 to 18 lanes, and the stretch between Highway 403 and Brock Road in Pickering is thought to be the world's longest continuous stretch of highway having 10 or more lanes. The main collector-express setup with a minimum 12 lane cross-section stretches from Islington Avenue to Brock Road. Highway 409 which branches off from Highway 401 just west of Islington to Toronto Pearson International Airport has been unsuccessful in diverting traffic volumes; the "gap" between Islington and Highway 427 is widely considered to be the worst major bottleneck on Highway 401 and this problem is unlikely to be fixed unless the existing 401-427 interchange is reconstructed to allow 5-6 lanes of through traffic per direction (currently, it only allows 4 lanes per direction).

Highway 401 west of the Don Valley Parkway/Highway 404 junction, showing the wide 16-lane cross-section

Highway 401 has a separate collector-express system between the junctions with Highways 403/410 and Highway 427. This was completed in 1986, concurrent with the expansion of the 401-403 interchange and the addition of two express flyover ramps and includes an eastbound collector-express transfer known as the "Tunnel". At 18 lanes wide this is the widest section of Highway 401, although at the present only the 6-8 express lanes are for 401 through traffic while the collector lanes serve as direct connections or ramp extensions from 403/410 to 427. The existing 401/427 interchange remains a bottleneck to possible east expansion of this configuration that would link it up with the Islington-Brock collector-express system. Another bottleneck at the 403/410 interchange since the 401 narrows down to 6 lanes west of that junction. However, several prerequisite projects to extend the collector system westward from 403/410 to Missisauga Road were underway in the late 1990s, including a new interchange at Mavis Road and the reconstruction of the Missisauga Road and Derry Road overpasses. A long term plan is to extend the 12-lane express/collector system as far west as Guelph and Kitchener.

Future expansion and upgrades

A plan is currently underway by the Ministry of Transportation to widen the highway to at least six lanes for its length from Windsor to the Quebec border. In the 1950s, Highway 401 had initially been constructed as a 4 lane divided highway but the narrow grass median has since proven insufficient in preventing cross-directional collisions. In 1999, the Windsor-London stretch of Highway 401 was infamously known as "Carnage Alley" after a slew of fatal accidents, including an 87 vehicle pileup on Labour Day during a thick fog. Much of the upgrade work will involve replacing the median with an "Ontario tall-wall" concrete barrier and an extra lane per direction. Ontario Ministry of Transportation is an Ontario government ministry responsible for transport infrastructure and law in the Canadian province of Ontario. ...

On November 14, 2005, the joint Canadian-American committee studying the options for expanding the Windsor - Detroit border crossing announced that its preferred option was to directly extend Highway 401 westward, using a new bridge or tunnel to cross the Detroit River and interchange with Interstate 75 somewhere between the existing Ambassador Bridge span and Wyandotte. The exact route of this new highway connection has not yet been determined.

To manage traffic, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) installed the COMPASS Freeway Traffic Management System, the most advanced of its kind in the world when it was deployed in 1991. Using a combination of CCTV cameras, vehicle detection loops and LED changeable message signs, the MTO Traffic Operations Centre can obtain a real-time assessment of traffic conditions and alert highway travellers of collisions and construction. The system currently stretches from Highway 403, Mississauga to Brock Road, Pickering, and is likely to be extended westward and eastward as Highway 401 is reconstructed and upgraded. 1991 (MCMXCI) is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The Ontario government is also planning to widen the Missisauga stretch from 6 lanes to 12 lanes from the 403-410 interchange to the Credit River, and 10 lanes to Mississauga Road. The Derry Road underpass and Mississauga Road overpass have been widened to accomodate this, while a new interchange has been added with Mavis Road. The main obstacle to widening are the aging Creditville Road, McLaughlin Road, and Hurontario Street overpasses which will be demolished in the recontruction.
