That’s actually the case made for Highway 413 because Caledon will grow either way.

We either build it before it overgrows or when the traffic becomes unbearable.

Highway 7 between Peterborough and Carleton Place is a hot potato. Some say that upgrading a bit will tip the scale (such as shifting large amount of traffic from 401 to 7) and warrant even more upgrades.
Ps: A freeway connection to Gatineau becomes useful (for super long-distance traffic) if MTQ extends A50 from Mirabel to Joliette because that’ll bypass Montreal. The upgrades to Rte 158 west of Joliette means that this is technically still in the cards.

So many people on here are only looking at this as a thing for Ottawa's residents. If anything, this will serve people who are just passing through Ottawa more than the residents of the city.
