That is indeed the plan eventually.
The wider part is getting brought out to Milton from Mississauga right now, and they are extending the part in Cambridge from Hespeler Road to Townline Road right now as well.
They will start construction on a part of the 401 in Guelph (where Highway 6 runs concurrently) in a few years to widen it to 10 lanes as well as a part of the Morriston Bypass project.
They then just have to fill in the two gaps.
