Current Route Information

Highway 7 is one of the major east-west routes running through Eastern Ontario.  This section of Highway 7 makes up most of the Trans-Canada Highway: Central Ontario Route.  A great deal of Highway 7 between Peterborough and Ottawa heads through a fairly remote area of Eastern Ontario.  From Madoc easterly to Perth, population is sparse, and traffic is fairly light, however, this section of highway is fairly scenic, passing through the Canadian Shield.

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

Multiplexes:  Currently, Highway 7 is multiplexed with Highway 35 for 5.4 km near Lindsay, and with Highway 115 for 12.9 km near Peterborough.

Freeway:  Highway 7 is a freeway where it runs concurrent with Highway 115 near Peterborough.

Trans-Canada Highway:  Entire Length, as the Central Ontario Route

AADT (2002):  Highest: 22,000, from the Parkway easterly to Bensfort Road in Peterborough;

                             Lowest: 3,050, from Highway 62 easterly to St. Lawrence Street on the Madoc Bypass.

Road Info:  Highway 7 is a well maintained road throughout all of Eastern Ontario.  Highway standards do vary a fair amount east of highway 12, particularly east of Peterborough.  Much of Highway 7 between Havelock and Perth is lightly traveled, and hasn't seen upgrades since the mid 1980s, (though still has a smooth driving surface).  Traffic volumes on the Lindsay to Norwood, and Carleton Place to Ottawa sections of highway are quite high, and not surprisingly, these are generally the highest standard sections of the route.  Despite being part of the Trans-Canada Highway, Highway 7 only has a rural posted speed limit of 80km/h.
