King's Highway 412 - Construction Images

Highway 412 is a toll road that is being built concurrently with the extension of Highway 407 through Durham Region. Highway 412 was first known as the West Durham Link and is one of two north-south highways that is being constructed through Durham Region as part of the Highway 407 project. The highway is scheduled to open in the Spring of 2016, and will feature interchanges at Highway 401, Highway 2 (Dundas Street), Taunton Road, Highway 7, and Highway 407. An additional interchange at Rossland Road will be constructed at a later date.
