Strangely that there are about 6 house boarded up on the north side of Wilson Rd S waiting for demolition. Cant forecast when that will happen. The 401 east and west in this area is only 3 lanes each way and I suspect will get widened to get past the Bloor St exit.
The Simcoe St bridge came down a few months ago and a new section is currently under construction. Likely 3 lanes each way. The east bound exit for Simcoe St is a nightmare as it dumps right into Bloor St at the Simcoe St traffic lights.. a real mess at times.

I remember a string of those old style bridges from Pickering & Ajax that are gone now. The most memorable was the Harwood bridge with its built-up ramp up to the overpass level & yet the train tracks immediately south of course were ground level. It was a memorable span, but so was the old Lake Ridge Road overpass.

Absolutely hate driving 401 near Oshawa because of those remaining bridges, they are dangerous by pinching traffic down to two lanes and offer next to no crash protection. They gotta go.
