King's Highway 409 - www.OntHighways.com
Highway 409 is a short connector highway that runs from Highway 401 in Etobicoke to Pearson International Airport. Highway 409 also links Highway 401 East to Highway 427 North; direct ramps for these movements do not exist at the large 401/427 mega interchange located to the south. In 2007, as part of a massive Airport reconstruction, all portions of Highway 409 west of Highway 427 were transferred to the Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA). This transfer was completed to accommodate the Airports desire to expand the complex Pearson International Airport Road network east of Airport Road
