The Clarington Independent, Bowmanville, Saturday, December 31,1994 3 $110 Million Earmarked for Hwy. 401 Work ride Program checks Highway 401 is southern Ontario's Ontario's main street - a vital economic lifeline that moves goods and people from one end of the province to the other. For the most part it does so quickly, efficiently and safely. From time to time it needs work - repairs to a bridge, or resurfacing, or even rebuilding and expanding a section section of road. This year, despite budgetary budgetary pressures, the Ontario government government is investing $110 million on Highway 401 construction. That investment investment will create almost 1,900 full-year jobs. Transportation Minister Mike Far- nan says the work done on the 401 - like all of the government's capital investment - has two main goals: building and maintaining the province's province's infrastructure to support social and economical development, and creating jobs. "Investment in our roads and highways help us keep Ontario strong," Faman said. "There's also a spin-off effect: every dollar we put into construction yields $2.50 in economic economic activity." David Bradley is president of the Ontario Trucking Association, whose members travel the full length of the 401 each and every day. He says the highway is a vital economic corridor for Ontario's interprovincial and international international trade. "The dollars spent on its maintenance," maintenance," says Bradley, "and the minor inconveniences it causes now are an investment that will bring enormous returns to all Ontarians in the future." An important part of keeping construction construction costs down is not to let small, routine repairs grow into major major problems. On the 401, as with other roads and highways, a little preventive preventive maintenance goes a long way: on average it costs $500 to seal a crack; $1,000 to patch a hole; $80,000 per kilometre to resurface and $250,000 to rebuild a kilometre of road. Generally, with regular maintenance maintenance and upkeep, a road will last up to 30 years before needing major reconstruction. reconstruction. However there's a sliding sliding scale - the longer a road goes without maintenance, the more ex- nensive the repair job will be.
