King's Highway 418, or simply Highway 418, is a future tolled freeway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The planned 400-series highway will travel through the Regional Municipality of Durham to connect Highway 401 with the eastern extension of Highway 407. The freeway will be located entirely within Clarington near Durham Regional Road 34 (Courtice Road).
The route number was confirmed by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) on February 6, 2015. Prior to this, it was known as the East Durham Link.
Highway 418 is one of two proposed freeways to connect the future eastern extension of Highway 407 with Highway 401; the other is Highway 412, located to the west in Whitby. The two routes, known then as the East Durham Link and West Durham Link, first appeared as part of the June 2007 "Technically Recommended Route", which was submitted as part of the environmental assessment (EA) for the extension, but had been announced earlier that year on March 7 by the Government of Canada as part of an investment in Greater Toronto Area infrastructure. The EA report was released on August 17, 2009, and included detailed plans for the configuration of the interchanges along the new freeway.
