Eastbound signage approaching the Highway 53 intersection directing traffic
to Highway 403. This sign was likely installed when Highway 403 was
first extended westerly to the Highway 53 interchange in the early 1980s.
Before Highway 403 was finally extended to Highway 401 in 1987, motorists
bound for Highway 403 needed to utilize either Highway 2 or Towerline Road
to access the highway.

View looking west as Highway 2 rounds the sharp
curve to avoid the Mount Elgin Hill. Before the 403 was pushed west to
Rest Acres Road, Paris was a major bottleneck between Hamilton and
Woodstock, since both Highway 2 and Highway 5 traffic had to navigate the
sharp turns and steep hills contained in the west end of the small town.
