Future
The East Durham Link is one of two proposed freeways to connect the future east extension of Highway 407 with Highway 401; the West Durham Link, to be located to the west in Whitby, is the second. The links first appeared on the June 2007 Technically Recommended Route, which was submitted as part of the environmental assessment (EA) for the extension, but had been announced earlier that year on March 7 by the Government of Canada, as part of an investment in Greater Toronto Area infrastructure.
The EA report was released on August 17, 2009, including detailed plans for the configuration of the interchanges along the new freeway. On June 9, 2010, it was announced that the Highway 407 extension would be completed in phases, with the West Durham Link being fully constructed, and the mainline being extended as far as Simcoe Street in Oshawa. Because of this, the East Durham Link may not have contracts tendered for its construction for several years.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“I am slow to listen to criminations among friends, and never espouse their quarrels on either side. My sincere wish is that both sides will allow bygones to be bygones, and look to the present & future only.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“How difficult the task to quench the fire and the pride of private ambition, and to sacrifice ourselves and all our hopes and expectations to the public weal! How few have souls capable of so noble an undertaking! How often are the laurels worn by those who have had no share in earning them! But there is a future recompense of reward, to which the upright man looks, and which he will most assuredly obtain, provided he perseveres unto the end.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
