The marker is affixed to sample concrete barriers that line the median between east and westbound lanes of Highway 401 from London to Woodstock.

The barriers now line close-proximity medians along the entire 800 km-long 401 highway. They have reduced the number of head-on collisions immeasurably since installation.

Marker text reads:

MEDIAN BARRIER COMPLETION HIGHWAY
401 LONDON TO WOODSTOCK

This marker commemorates the completion of the Highway 401 London to
Woodstock median barrier, a safety improvement made possible by government and industry working in partnership and cooperation.

The representatives of government and industry are also listed.
