MTO definitely has long term plans for it, but I really don't think it'll be soon. Likely not for another decade or so at least.
Right now their first job is widening the 403 through Aldershot to York Boulevard. They just finished the Environmental Assessment for that, but don't yet have funding for it.
The PCs haven't announced any major road spending for a while now either, so I'm expecting some new funding announcements soon. I'm hopeful Hamilton will see some new money for the provincial highway network as it's become an epicentre for congestion on the provincial freeway network lately and hasn't seen any investment in additional capacity since the QEW was widened in Stoney Creek in the mid 00's.
