It is interesting though..
In Ontario AFAIK almost all of the freeways were built from scratch on fresh land. We tend to not upgrade existing roads to freeway status, rather we build a fresh freeway parallel to the road.
In comparison the Perimeter Highway, Henday, Yellowhead, Whitemud, Deerfoot all were incrementally upgraded to freeway status.
