Highway 412 is a toll road that is being built concurrently with the extension of Highway 407 through Durham Region. Highway 412 was first known as the West Durham Link and is one of two north-south highways that is being constructed through Durham Region as part of the Highway 407 project. The highway is scheduled to open in the Spring of 2016, and will feature interchanges at Highway 401, Highway 2 (Dundas Street), Taunton Road, Highway 7, and Highway 407. An additional interchange at Rossland Road will be constructed at a later date.

Photos taken during construction:

Westerly view from the Lake Ridge Road overpass. This picture highlights the point where the future ramp from the southbound 412 will join Highway 401 traffic. Centralized view of Highway 401 from the Lake Ridge Road overpass. Little remains of the former alignment of Highway 401 to the south. Westerly view overtop of the future sub-collector lanes that will carry traffic entering from the Lake Ridge Road interchange before it merges with Highway 401 traffic. Easterly view overtop of the westbound lanes of Highway 401 from the Lake Ridge Road overpass.

View looking easterly from the Lake Ridge Road overpass overtop of the central median of Highway 401. Eastbound view overtop of the future, and now graded, ramp that will carry eastbound motorists to Highway 412 North. Drivers view looking easterly on the 401 as the highway passes beneath the ramp that will carry eastbound traffic to the northbound lanes of Highway 412. Westerly view of the future western ramps between Highways 401 and 412. The Lake Ridge Road overpass is visible in the distance.

View beneath the future ramp that will carry eastbound Highway 401 traffic to Highway 412 north. An additional westerly view beneath the E-N ramp between Highways 401 and 412. View looking easterly along Highway 401 from the Highway 412 E-N ramp. Zoomed in perspective of the previous photo. A GO Train is visible passing by the south side of the 401.

Westerly view along Highway 401 from the N-E Ramp. Deck view of the future N-E ramp. The intricately placed rebar is still awaiting final encapsulating in concrete. View looking beneath the N-E Ramp. The steel webbing that provides lateral reinforcement between the girders is visible in the structure. View looking westerly along Highway 401 from the N-E Ramp.

View looking westerly along Highway 401 from the Henry Street overpass. All Highway 401 was shifted onto the future westbound lanes at the Lynde Creek Bridge when this photo was taken. Zoomed in view, again looking westerly from the Henry Street overpass along Highway 401. The Henry Street overpass dates back the original construction of Highway 401, and will be replaced in an unrelated contract starting in 2016. View looking northerly towards the Highway 2 overpass along Highway 412.
