There’s not that much left to build on the 400 so it’s going to be fine.

It has 80 km including the current construction to get done.
The current construction is not scheduled to be done till 2020. If Ford's PCs continue with the twinning, it would make sense that the entire section should be done by about 2030. That is 11 years. Ford has come out stating that he won't introduce new spending for just about everything and is currently cutting spending everywhere.
I suspect the end date will be closer to 2035 with how Ford has been. This assumes he doesn't get re elected. If he does, push it to 2040.
