Highway widening (or a bridge replacement) is much more predictable, though, than, say, rebuilding King St (where many unknowns lurk in the ground). Or a systems project such as integrating the region's control system with our trains.

And the misery of the highway work will likely continue after all of this widening is done, and my guess that this will be when they start building a normal exit from highway 8 bypass to the 401 west London, flyovers and lots of fun.
