I'm guessing they'll want to start on the bridge over 403 and the tunnel in the east end at the beginning?

From my understanding there is still negotiating and discussion with the bidders to be done about how to build the system. The two major options I've heard are:
1) Build the entire thing at once, with the most disruption in about 3-3.5 years.
2) Build in phases in about 5 years.
I really hope they go with option 1 because I personally would like to see this done asap. I'd rather not be elderly by the time this is done. Also I don't think there's much to be saved in terms of disruption, sure construction in your area will be quicker, but the it'll sit in a 90% complete state for months or years unusable, and still not allowing as many automobiles, so it'll just be crappy for everyone for years regardless and even longer, except instead of 3 years of construction, you'll have to bear with maybe 8-15 months instead.
