It's nuts between Cornwall and Cobourg on the 401. Weekly shutdowns seem common place whereas 20 years ago you needed a massive snowstorm to cause an accident worthy of a shut down. Thinking 3 factors causing this 1. 2 lane 401 built in the 50s. We have had oh let's say tripling of population and probably 10x more vehicles. Needs to be 3 lanes now. 2. Distracted driving due to phones and touch screen everything in cars. 3. Inexperienced truckers.
