The problem of congestion on highways is frustrating and reflects the inefficiency of the transportation network. Growing cities and economies have resulted in high population density regions across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The study area of this paper will be a worst-affected section on the Highway ON-401 which runs through dense residential communities from North York till Mississauga. There is a very major bottlenecking problem in the study area which results in very significant delays for commuters and reduces confidence in the transportation infrastructure across the province. To tackle this urban congestion, the Government of Canada has invested more than $8 billion in over 2,700 infrastructure projects across Ontario. The province of Ontario plans to invest more than $7.3 billion in public transit infrastructure over the next ten years (MTO, 2020). This paper aims to identify affected areas, causes, and potential solutions.
