history

The first planning for the route began in 1938. After the construction of the Blue Water Bridge, the western section began, but due to the war, the section to Sarnia was not completed until 1953. In 1957 it was decided to extend the route to Highway 401. After minor preparatory work, however, the final route was not determined until 1968, the start of construction was delayed until 1972. Construction took some time, so that the entire route was not completed until 1982.
