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 shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Mothers have as powerful an influence over the welfare of future generations, as all other causes combined.”
—John Abbott. The Mother at Home; or the Principles of Maternal Duty, John Abbott, Crocker and Brewster (1833)
“I am not naturally ... “A bag of wind”; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly “to cut” in future all my old ideas on this head. I don’t think modesty “pays.” It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
