Another construction project along the 401 near Cambridge could impact commuters as temporary closures alternate between the eastbound and westbound lanes on the highway at Hespeler Road.

The stretch of the highway has already seen multiple closures this week.

On Monday and Tuesday, the alternating closures impacted drivers throughout the night.

“[I’m] not surprised. There’s always construction,” said Amanda McKinnon, a commuter. “I feel like I moved away and came back and there’s construction here.”

Earlier this week, Transport Canada notified drivers that the westbound lanes would be closed again for construction starting at 11 p.m. on Wednesday and running until 5 a.m. Thursday.

“It’s a pain just to get to work and back every single day,” said Hasan Ali, who drives on the 401 often.

This marks the third time this week this stretch of highway has been closed.

“They always have some kind of construction,” said Jalshree Banbya, a 401 to commuter.

Transport Canada said the eastbound lanes will close again next Tuesday from 11 p.m. until 5 a.m. Wednesday.

The transportation agency said detours will be in place for drivers.

For some, it means spending extra cash to take toll roads to avoid the congestion.

“[I’ve] spent a lot of money on the 407 these past couple weeks just to get to work faster,” said Ali.

For others, they are opting to just avoid the 400 series highway altogether.

“I like the back roads better, and I honestly don’t want to sit in traffic. I know when I take the 401 I’m likely going to be sitting in it,” said McKinnon.
