Speaking of new interchanges Teston Road on the 400 is finally open as well! I wouldn't be surprised to Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:59:55 GMT Mark http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ontroads/message/17473 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ontroads/message/17473 I would rather have some of "services" come back like they used to. One comes to mind WB 401 near Ingersoll. Which was a BK/Esso! Ahhh memories Mark Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:36:43 GMT Greg Fox http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ontroads/message/17472 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ontroads/message/17472 ... I disagree, I think they were cramped and generally unpleasant to visit, some of them.

Construction is slated to begin on them next month.

They have made it a less stressful merging too, expanding Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:05:44 GMT Chris http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ontroads/message/17468 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ontroads/message/17468 I might as well keep getting photos from thekingshighway.ca and have some fun with this.

CATHARINES ? The QEW will close down Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:56:20 GMT Chris http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ontroads/message/17466 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ontroads/message/17466 The actual words were "minor ramp modifications" so I would presume maybe a few geometric improvements, but they aren't going crazy.

I love how so many of
