Premier Dalton McGuinty says work to double lane Highway 17 west of Kenora has already started.
McGuinty made his first visit as premier to Kenora on Friday and along with prime minister Stephen Harper, promised 100 million dollars to begin the project next year.
The premier says the route planning process has already started.
The route planning for the entire 40 kilometer route is expected to take about a year and a half to complete.
Ten kilometers of the Trans-Canada east of the Manitoba border will be the first section to be twinned.
