Ont. Premier Doug Ford is expected to make an announcement Wednesday alongside Transport Minister Caroline Mulroney and Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy in Caledon Village, Ont.

On Monday, Ford said his government is committed to fully funding the Bradford Bypass, a controversial highway project that’s been in the planning stages for decades, though it hasn’t yet been fully costed by his Progressive Conservative government.

The proposed 16-kilometre, four-lane highway would connect existing Toronto-area highways in Simcoe County and York Region. The government earmarked $2.6 billion in its fall economic statement for highways and bridges this year, including committing to advance the Bradford Bypass, but hasn’t provided an exact figure for spending on the highway.
