Ontario's Improved Highway Service Centres

Ontario has selected Host Kilmer Service Centres Inc. as the preferred proponent to redevelop and operate service centres along Highways 400 and 401.

Over the next 36 months, Ontario will upgrade 20 service centre locations. Investing in new modern facilities will improve road safety, while generating about 2,500 construction jobs.

There are three other service centres on these highways in Ingersoll, Newcastle and Maple. They were rebuilt in the late 1990s and will not be modified as part of this renewal program.

The new service centres will offer better services to motorists. The service centres, which are located approximately 80 kilometres apart, will be open to motorists 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This will help ease driver fatigue and keep our roadways safer for more than 400,000 drivers who travel Highway 401 and up to 195,000 motorists using Highway 400 each day.
