The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Construction Council of Ontario (IBEW CCO) applauds Ontario Premier Doug Ford for moving forward with the Highway 401 Tunnel project.
The Ontario government has launched the technical evaluation for a new driver and transit tunnel expressway under Highway 401, which will provide a faster route through some of the most congested areas north of Toronto, extending from beyond Brampton and Mississauga to beyond Markham and Scarborough.
This vital infrastructure initiative is expected to significantly reduce traffic in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) while promoting economic growth by facilitating quicker access to goods and services.
The IBEW workforce, consisting of highly skilled electricians and registered apprentices, is ready to contribute to this project. Representing eleven IBEW Local Unions across Ontario, we are committed to ensuring that this public initiative meets the highest standards of quality and safety.
We look forward to working with government partners, contractors, and stakeholders to bring the Highway 401 Tunnel to fruition, creating a sustainable transportation network for future generations.
