Not good when they can’t even build a highway that is drivable...
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/highway-427-extension-toronto-ontario-government-1.6005609 The $616-million extension of Highway 427 near Toronto sits unused and off-limits to drivers amid a legal dispute between the Doug Ford government and the private consortium hired to build it, CBC News has learned.
To the naked eye, the extension appears complete: the lanes are painted, road signs are up. Bridges and off-ramps have been built. Traffic lights are installed.
But the provincial government has told CBC News the highway, built as part of a public-private partnership, can't open due to safety concerns.
The consortium, LINK427, disputes that. In a lawsuit filed this week, it accuses the government of stalling the opening of the extension so it can delay paying the consortium more than $144 million it is owed.
