On June 9, 2010, it was announced that the Highway 407 extension would be completed in phases, with the West Durham Link being fully constructed, and the mainline being extended as far as Simcoe Street in Oshawa.
The East Durham Link is one of two proposed freeways to connect the future east extension of Highway 407 with Highway 401; the West Durham Link, to be located to the west in Whitby, is the second.
