This took place between late 1982 and the summer of 1985; the existing outermost ramps from Highway403 to Highway401 eastbound were re-designated to serve collector traffic, as a pair of flyover ramps were added inside the interchange to serve motorists in the express lanes. The right-of-way originally intended for Highway403 between Cawthra Road and Etobicoke Creek was eventually used for a controlled-access arterial extension called Eastgate Parkway, which was planned beginning in 1982. The extension was built between 1988 and 1994, incorporating a portion of Fieldgate Drive at the eastern end. The first section, between Cawthra Road and Dixie Road, opened in early 1991. This was followed several years later by the section from Dixie Road to Eglinton Avenue that opened in late 1994. In 1990 construction was underway on the planned but not-yet-built parts of the Highway401-403-410 interchange, alongside the widening of Highway410 into a full freeway, and the further expansion of Highway 401's collector-express system. At the time traffic from both freeways was forced onto eastbound Highway401. Two semi-directional flyover ramps were built, for the Highway 401 eastbound to Highway 410 northbound movement, and the Highway 410 southbound to Highway 401 eastbound movement, the latter which replaced an existing loop ramp. The removal of that loop ramp, as well as completion of the new flyovers in the interchange, would free up space for connections between Highway 403 and Highway 410 whose construction started in December 1991. The link opened on November2, 1992 at a cost of $7.3 million. Bridging the gaps In 1975, construction began on a westward extension of the Brantford Bypass, from Highway2 (Paris Road) to Rest Acres Road, which would become Highway24. This work consisted of the twin bridges over the Grand River and an interchange at Rest Acres Road. The Canadian National Railway underpass west of Highway2 was built by the railway. By the beginning of 1978, this work was completed. Work resumed west of Highway24 in early 1982 to connect with Highway401 near Woodstock to relieve the high traffic volumes along Highway2. This included interchanges at Brant County Road25 and Highway53. A section from Highway24 to County Road25 was opened in November 1984, followed by the section west of there to Highway53 one year later. Construction of the gap between Highway53 and Highway401 began in late 1985, followed by the Highway401 overpass for the westbound lanes, which began in 1987. Transportation minister Ed
