The Ontario government has announced the start of construction to replace the Wilson Road overpass in Oshawa. This project is part of a broader effort to widen Highway 401 and improve traffic flow in the Durham Region.

The construction will include new taller light poles, upgrades to the existing noise barrier, and new pedestrian sidewalks. The project aims to accommodate the future widening of Highway 401.

In addition to the Wilson Road overpass, the province will also replace the Simcoe Street and Albert Street underpasses in Oshawa. Rehabilitation work will be done on two over-water bridges between Bowmanville and Clarington, the overpass at the Highway 35/115 interchange west of Bowmanville, and the Westney Road overpass on Highway 401 in Ajax.
