From that not-so-brief briefing package...
1969: a provincial study identifies the corridor from Clair Road to Woodlawn as a major north-south link connecting the 401 to Highway 7.

1972: the Hanlon is built.

1994: a provincial report looks into building interchanges on the Hanlon from south of the Speed River to Woodlawn.

2000: the interchange at Wellington is built.

2004: the province identifies need to remove at-grade intersections and put in flyovers and interchanges.

2007: province initiates an environmental assessment to look at removing all traffic lights on the Hanlon.
