The province increased the speed limit on six stretches of highway to 110 km/h back in 2019 as part of a pilot project. There are now reports that the Ford Government will make the speed limit increase permanent next month.
ONTARIO - It looks like the province is going to permanently increase the speed limit to 110 kilometres per hour on some of the highways in Ontario.
This will affect the QEW from Hamilton to St. Catharines, Highway 401 from Windsor to Tilbury, Highway 402 from London to Sarnia, Highway 404 from Newmarket to Woodbine, Highway 417 from Ottawa to the Quebec border and Highway 417 from Kanata to Arnprior.
The Ford Government first increased the speed limit in those areas back in 2019 as part of a pilot project. Reports say the 110 kilometre per hour speed limit will now become permanent as of April 22nd.
Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney is set to make the official announcement during a press conference in Tilbury this afternoon. It's set to begin at 4:15 p.m. and she will be joined by Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens.
There are also reports that Mulroney will announce two new speed limit pilot projects today. The province is going to temporarily increase the speed limit to 110 kilometres per hour on Highway 400 from MactTer to Nobel and on Highway 11 from Emsdale to South River.
