Hamilton - Burlington Boundary	Driving south approaching the Highway 403 interchange along Highway 6. Notice that the old overhead signage makes no reference to Highway 6 continuing further southerly than this interchange. New signage includes references to both Highway 6-South and the Queen Elizabeth Way. Upper photo taken: July 31st, 2005. Lower photo taken: July 10th, 2014.

Hamilton - Burlington Boundary	New advanced signage for the Highway 403 interchange. Notice, unlike previous signage incarnations, Highway 6 traffic is signed westbound along Highway 403. Photo taken: July 10th, 2014.	(720x480) (1440x960) (2400x1600)
Hamilton - Burlington Boundary	View looking southerly from the York Road overpass. Note the start of the northbound climbing lane just before the deceleration lane for the York Road Road interchange. I was a little pre-emptive taking photos of this roadway, there was about a weeks worth of paving left when this photo was taken. Photo taken: August 3rd, 2009.	Low-res High-res
Hamilton - Burlington Boundary	The upper photo looks north along Highway 6 towards Clappison's Corners and the Niagara Escarpment. Highway 6 was first four-laned between Highway 403 and Highway 5 in 1965, at a time when massive highway expansion was taking place across the province. The lower two photos highlight the view looking northerly from the recently constructed York Road overpass. Upper photo taken: July 31st, 2005. Lower photos taken: August 3rd, 2009.

Hamilton - Burlington Boundary	Southbound signage at the off-ramp to York Road. Before the York Road interchange was constructed, there was not an advanced sign for the Highway 403 interchange. There was, however, this sign advising motorists bound for the QEW to follow Highway 403 East. Photo taken: July 10th, 2014.	(720x480) (1440x960) (2400x1600)

Hamilton - Burlington Boundary	This view looks southerly from the top of the Escarpment looking into Hamilton and the Dundas Valley. Photos taken: August 3rd, 2009.	Low-res High-res Low-res High-res
Hamilton - Burlington Boundary	Advanced signage for the York Road interchange. Dare I say it, but freeway signage in Hamilton looks a little bit barren since the de-numbering of most of the Region's Regional Roads took place. York Road was formerly Regional Road 44. Photos taken: August 3rd, 2009.
Hamilton - Burlington Boundary	Green signage for Highway 5 looking north at the top of the Escarpment. Before Highway 6 was widened up the escarpment, no signs existed for this intersection. The Highway 5 and 6 intersection is the busiest non-freeway intersection between two King's Highways. Photos taken: August 3rd, 2009.	Low Res High Res
City of Hamilton	Looking southerly from just south of Clappison's Corners towards Highway 403. Before conversion to a controlled access facility, this portion of Highway 6 had changed very little since it was first constructed in 1965. Construction was completed in the Summer of 2009 to upgrade Highway 6 to a freeway south of Clappison's Corners. Upper photo taken: March 21st, 2006. Lower photo taken: August 3rd, 2009.

City of Hamilton	Looking north towards the signalized intersection with Highway 5 at Clappison's Corners. Because of the high amount of turning traffic at this intersection, two-way left turns facilitate movement from westbound to southbound and from northbound to westbound. Upper photo taken: March 21st, 2006. Lower photo taken: August 3rd, 2009.	Low-res High-res Low-res High-res
Highway 6 crosses Highway 5 at Clappison's Corner; Highway 5 is bound for Waterdown and Peters Corners. Click here for Highway 5 images.
City of Hamilton	Looking south towards the Highway 5 intersection. This intersection is one of the busiest between two active king's highways in Ontario. Unfortunately, it is not being altered as part of the Highway 6 freewayalization project between Highway 403 and Highway 5. Photo taken: March 21st, 2006.	Low-res High-res
City of Hamilton	The top sign shows the former junction assembly for Highway 5 heading southbound along Highway 6. Before downloading, this assembly would have reflected Highway 5 continuing east of Highway 6 into Waterdown. As part of the Highway 6 upgrades, the Clappison's Corner intersection was resigned with proper green signs with the signs showin in the lower photo. Upper photo taken: March 21st, 2006. Lower photo taken: August 3rd, 2009.
City of Hamilton	Looking north along Highway 6 towards Guelph. Highway 6 has been constructed with this 5-lane suburban configuration from Clappison's Corners northerly to just north of Regional Road 97 on the Freelton By-pass. Photo taken: March 21st, 2006. Size: 50kb.	Low-res High-res

City of Hamilton	Looking north along the Freelton By-pass from just north of the Hamilton Road 97 junction. The Freelton By-pass is a controlled access highway. Because of the lack of residential and business entrances, the centre turn lane narrows to a flush median along the by-pass. Photo taken: September 24th, 2005.
City of Hamilton	Looking southerly from the northern junction of Freelton Road at the northern start of the Freelton By-pass. Photo taken: September 24th, 2005.
City of Hamilton	Looking northerly along Highway 6 towards the Flamborough - Puslinch Townline Road. As is visible in the photo, Highway 6 narrows from a 4- to 2-lanes at the boundary. The MTO is planning to eventually bypass both Morriston and Puslinch to the west with a new Highway 6 alignment that would link up to the existing highway at the end of the 4-lane highway. Photo taken: September 24th, 2005.
Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	Looking south through Puslinch towards the 4-lane portion of highway. Northbound traffic bunches up very quickly through Puslinch as Highway 6 becomes a very congested 2-lane route. Photo taken: September 24th, 2005.
Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	Looking northerly through Puslinch towards the CP railway overhead. This railway overhead is being replaced in 2006, and the surrounding highway is being reconstructed. This construction project will not see Highway 6 widened through Puslinch. Photo taken: September 24th, 2005.
Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	Looking north through Morriston along Highway 6. Morriston is the most notable community along Highway 6 between Hamilton and Guelph, and features the only 50km/h speed limit through this section of highway. The portion of Highway 6 between Puslinch and Morriston will be resurfaced during the summer of 2006. Photo taken: September 24th, 2005.
Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	Looking south towards the signalized intersection with Wellington Road 36 in Morriston. This traffic signal causes significant backups during peak travel periods on Highway 6. Morriston is located about 1km south of Highway 401. Photo taken: September 24th, 2005.
Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	Looking northerly towards the Highway 401 interchange from just north of Morriston. Highway 6 meets Highway 401 at a parclo-A2 interchange. Surprisingly, this interchange was never a cloverleaf design, it was the only interchange between two highways to not have been originally constructed as a cloverleaf between Kitchener and Toronto. Photo taken: June 10th, 2006.	Low-res High-res
Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	View of the end of the ramp terminal for southbound Highway 6 travelers. At these signals, traffic must turn right to continue southerly along Highway 6. Surprisingly, a channel was never constructed at this intersection so that southbound traffic could by-pass the traffic signal. Photo taken: May 6th, 2006.	Low Res High Res
Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	Advanced signage for the westbound Highway 401 ramp. As noted by the sign, Highway 6 follows Highway 401 westerly for roughly 4km before heading north through the west side of Guelph via the Hanlon Parkway. Photo taken: June 10th, 2006.
Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	Looking north towards the northern Highway 401 ramp terminals. Traffic must turn right at this intersection to continue northerly along Highway 6.

Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	Signage eastbound along Highway 401 taken from just beyond the northern Highway 6 interchange. Signs reading "next exit" are not generally used on provincial freeways, however it is useful in this application as a reassurance sign for Highway 6 traffic. Photo taken: May 6th, 2006.
Township of Puslinch County of Wellington	Looking east towards Toronto from the western Highway 6 overpass. The western Highway 6 overpass is located roughly at kilometer marker 295 along Highway 401. Photo taken: June 10th, 2006.	Low-res High-res
