	The King's Highways of Ontario - History of Ontario Highway 401
		Extensions to Highway 401 eventually resulted in the completion of a new four-lane highway from the Oshawa area easterly to the Quebec Boundary, and from Toronto south-westerly to Windsor.
		The final section of Highway 401 was completed between Gananoque and Brockville in 1968, completing an 818 km controlled-access freeway across the southern half of Ontario.
		The highway was officially rededicated as the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway in 1965, to commemorate two of Canada's Fathers of Confederation, Sir John A. MacDonald and Sir George Etienne Cartier.

		Interestingly enough, there was strong pressure on the government to toll the partially built Highway 401 in the mid-1950s, as the driving public became frustrated with what was seen as the snail-like pace of construction.
		Highway 401 was also conceived as a completely controlled-access highway on a separate alignment from start to finish, bypassing all the cities and towns along its length.
		Highway 401 construction was delayed in part, because of material and manpower shortages after World War II and onset of the Korean war in 1949.

	ClubSi: Highway 401(Canada) - Busiest highway in North America
		The 401 is widely considered to be North America's busiest highway, with an estimated Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of over 425,000 in 2004, near the interchange with Highway 400.
		The highway has 12-20 lanes through Pickering to Mississauga and this is thought to be the world's longest continuous stretch of highway having 12 or more lanes.
		The main reason the highway is so large is the fact that Toronto has very few highways so the ones it does have particularly the 401 tend to be quite large, another highway(the 400) is similar in size to the 401 but not for the same distance.
