View looking easterly along Highway 401 from the
Highway 24 overpass. Between Highway
24 and Franklin Boulevard, Highway 401 has an auxiliary lane that
connects the two interchanges. This is the closest Highway 401 comes
to an eight lane configuration west of the Mississauga. The Highway 24 interchange is a
standard parclo A4 of considerable footprint. Cameron Bevers
has some great aerials of this interchange on his
TheKingsHighway.ca site. Click here to jump to the view looking west from the Highway 24 overpass. Photo taken: May 29th, 2010. |

Advance signage for the Franklin Boulevard interchange. I included this
photo because the advanced signage for Franklin Boulevard is one of the few
advanced exit signs in Southwestern Ontario that still features an exit tab
with the word 'Exit' on it. Photo taken: October 11th, 2015. |

This view looks easterly as the ramp from Highway 401-East leads to the
Hanlon Expressway. The Hanlon favours movements between Cambridge and
Guelph; likely because when the Hanlon was first constructed, Highway 24
traffic was still directed through Downtown Hespeler. Downtown
Hespeler was not indicative of high-speed through traffic. Photo taken: July 25th, 2014. |

Reassurance marker for Highway 401 between the two Highway 6's.
Interestingly, Highway 6 is signed with a trailblazer southbound, and with
nothing northerly. I am not sure why MTO is so reluctant to place
Highway 6 shields where it runs concurrent with 400-series highways. Photo taken: November 14th, 2009. |

Signage eastbound along Highway 401 taken from just beyond the western
Highway 6 interchange. Signs reading "next exit" are not generally used on
provincial freeways, however it is useful in this application given the
short concurrency of Highway 6 with the 401 Photo taken: July 25th, 2014. |

Looking east along Highway 6/401 from the Concession Road 7 overpass.
The 401 between the Highway 6 junctions is the busiest rural freeway in
Ontario. Plans have been drafted to link the Highway 6 interchanges,
without the concurrent routing along Highway 401. This link was first
envisioned when the Hanlon was constructed, however such a link has never
progressed past the conceptual phase. Photo taken: September 2nd, 2009. |

Looking east from the Highway 6-South
overpass towards Toronto. Surprisingly, this interchange has always
been of a parclo A2 configuration. All other interchanges between two
highways along Highway 401 between Milton and Kitchener (which opened in
1960) were initially constructed as full cloverleaf interchanges. Photo taken: October 9th, 2014. |

Looking west along Highway 401 Wellington Road 36 overpass. The
overpass at Wellington Road 36 was the first overpass without an interchange
on the 401 between Kitchener and Milton to be rehabilitated. This

View looking easterly along Highway 401 as the highway passes underneath of
Nassagaweya Line 1. The 1960s-vintage structures erected along much of
Highway 401 utilize this concrete ridged frame design. The upper photo
shows the structure while it retained its original painted steel railings.,
In my opinion, these railings really add to the highways pleasant
aesthetics. Understandably these ornamental steel railings are no longer an accepted
design in the OPSD, and the railings were replaced as part of a recent
structural rehabilitation project. Upper photo taken: November 14th, 2009. Lower photo taken: October 11th, 2015. |

Looking west towards Kitchener from the Nassagaweya 1st Line overpass.
Notice the limestone cut that the 401 passes through. Although exposed
limestone is common in the areas surround the Niagara Escarpment, this is
the only exposed rock face along Highway 401 outside of Eastern Ontario.
The Niagara Escarpment was designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in
1990. Along with the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Escarpment is one of
Southern Ontario's most notable geographic features.

Looking easterly along Highway 401 from the
Guelph Line overpass. Just east of Guelph Line, Highway 401 begins its
long descent down the Niagara Escarpment. The Niagara Escarpment is a
considerable feature in the Southern Ontario landscape; the 401 ascends and
descends the escarpment so gracefully it is barely noticeable to highway
drivers. Click here for an

As part of Milton's long term development plan, a new structure and
interchange will be constructed just east of the Tremain Road interchange
roughly at the pictured curve. This interchange would serve Milton's

Milton's official plan, no construction commitments or timelines have been
established. Photo taken: August 28th, 2010. |
