Canada's construction news

The Government of Ontario’s announcement it is exploring the feasibility of constructing a new tunnel expressway under Highway 401 is raising a few eyebrows, with construction industry stakeholders generally supportive of the idea, but with a few caveats.

The LIUNA Local 183 Training Centre has the first and only tunnel and rescue facility of its kind in North America where members are trained. Tunnelling is LIUNA’s jurisdiction and members would be involved in performing the work. “The next step for us would be connecting with our members and with MTO and Infrastructure Ontario staff to start those conversations around the early works that will probably include soil testing and looking at the information that we do have to see if it’s possible,” she said.
