King's Highway 7 -   O N T   H I G H W A Y S

Page 2   -   Guelph to Sunderland

Current Route Information

In this section, Highway 7 runs through the heart of the Greater Toronto Area.  Because of this, the highway is very busy, and in some spots quite congested.  A great deal of Highway 7 in this section was recently bypassed by the newly constructed Highway 407 ETR.  Where Highway 7 was bypassed by the 407 it was also downloaded.  This created a 59.5 km gap in Highway 7 from Norval (at the Peel-Halton Boundary) to Highway 48 in Markham.

Highway 7 Information that Pertains to the Guelph to Sunderland Section:

Discontinuity:  Highway 7 was downloaded between Norval and Highway 48 in Markham between 1997 and 2001, leaving distinct western and eastern segments of the highway.

Multiplexes:  Currently, Highway 7 is multiplexed with Highway's 6 and 12 in this section.

Freeway:  None

AADT  (2002):  Highest: 48,300, from Conestoga Drive to Highway 410 in Brampton;

                               Lowest: 5,800, from Albert Street to Durham Road 10 in Sunderland.

Road Info:  Highway 7 is in very good shape for this entire section of Highway.  Between Guelph and Brampton, though in good condition, the highway has a somewhat redundant routing.  The route features a lot of long curves, turns, and passes through several small communities.  In Peel and York Regions, the downloaded section of Highway 7 can be very congested, particularly in western Brampton, and at the 400, and 404 junctions.  In York Region, Highway 7 is 6-lane at-grade urban expressway from Dufferin Street easterly Bayview Avenue.  From Markham easterly, though still very busy, Highway 7 typically moves very well, and has been recently rehabilitated almost entirely.
