The Ontario government is planning to construct an expressway tunnel beneath Highway 401 to ease gridlock throughout the densely populated Toronto region.

Premier Doug Ford announced the concept at a Toronto press conference alongside a congested section of the 401, saying the project, which is currently the subject of a feasibility study, will be moving ahead “no matter what.”
