Starting in 2006, Highway 401 will undergo reconstruction and widening from 1.0km west of Highway 402 to 1.0km east of Wellington Road in London.  This construction project involves the reconfiguration of the Wellington Road interchange, including structure replacement, and lane widening from four to six lanes from Highway 402 easterly to the  existing six-lane section east of Wellington Road.  This construction project is expected to take up to two years to complete.
