CLARINGTON, ONT. — Darlington-Clarke Townline in Clarington, Ont. will be closed for about a year between Concession Road 6 and Concession Road 7 to allow for construction of the future interchange with Highway 407, which is progressing along various areas of Durham Region.
According to the 407 East Phase 2 project website, Blackbird was selected by Infrastructure Ontario as the consortium to design, build, finance and maintain the project. It includes:
• extending Highway 407 as a four-lane highway about 22 kilometres, from Harmony Road in Oshawa to Highway 35/115 in Clarington;
• connecting Highway 401 and Highway 407 with a 10-kilometre north-south, four-lane freeway numbered as Highway 418;
• freeway-to-freeway interchanges at Highway 401/Highway 418 and Highway 407/Highway 418;
• a freeway-to-freeway interchange at Highway 407/Highway 35/115;
• interchanges at Highway 407 at Enfield Road; Highway 407 at Regional Road 57; Highway 407 at Darlington Clarke Town Line; • Highway 418 at Highway 2; Highway 418 at Taunton Road (a partial interchange); and
• establishing a supporting maintenance facility.
By late 2017, Highway 407 from Harmony Road to Taunton Road/Highway 418 is expected to be open to traffic (Phase 2A) and by late 2019, Highway 407 and Highway 418 is slated to be open to traffic (Phase 2B), the website indicates.
The project will cost approximately $1.2 billion, which will include design, construction and operations, maintenance and rehabilitation of Highway 407 and Highway 418 for 30 years after Phase 2A of the project is open to traffic.
