KINGSTON — The Ontario government is investing $6 million to support the movement of people and goods in the Kingston area. Work is underway to resurface sections of the eastbound and westbound lanes on Highway 401 from Westbrook Road to Highway 15, along with all four ramps at the Sir John A. Macdonald interchange.

“Highway 401 is a vital link for communities in eastern Ontario, connecting families, workers and businesses to Quebec, the United States and beyond,” said Ric Breese, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Transportation and MPP for Hastings–Lennox and Addington. “Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government will continue to invest in highways and roads to tackle gridlock and get drivers where they need to go.”

In addition to the lane renewals, concrete repairs will be carried out on two bridges between Sydenham Road and Highway 15. These upgrades will improve safety and traffic flow, create jobs and help promote economic growth across eastern Ontario.

“Investments like these are critical to Kingston’s growth and prosperity,” said Bryan Paterson, Mayor of Kingston. “By improving Highway 401 and its infrastructure, we are not only enhancing safety and reducing traffic congestion, but also strengthening our city's connection to vital trade routes. This project will benefit local families, businesses, and our economy for years to come.”

Ontario is investing $3.9 billion in 2024-25 as part of the Ontario Highways Program, which features 635 expansion and rehabilitation projects across the province.
