Advanced signage for the Highway 407-West interchange.  When the first phase of the Highway 403/407 interchange was constructed, it was anticipated that Highway 403 would continue straight ahead through the interchange, rather than the sharp curve to the south that it takes now.  Because the interchange was designed this way, the ramp to Highway 407-West exits from the left of Highway 403.

Several views looking easterly from Erin Mills Parkway.  The Mississauga City Centre Skyline dominates the horizon.  Mississauga has a very impressive cityscape for a city of its size -- especially since Mississauga is but a large suburb of Toronto.  Take notice of how many additional tall buildings there are that dot the the City of Mississauga's skyline in 2011 compared to 2006.  Mississauga's Growth continues to be impressive.

Looking west from Creditview Road.  Note CP's Galt subdivision which crosses the 403 in the photo.  CP's Galt railway line carries GO Trains (among other freight traffic) between Toronto's Union Station and Milton.  There is talk of extending passenger service westerly along this line -- once again only time will tell if this plan ever comes to fruition.  The extension of passenger rail along the Galt Subdivision is complicated by the fact that the Galt Subdivision is CP's mainline through Southwestern Ontario.

Signage at the ramp to Cawthra Road, Eastgate Parkway and Eglinton Avenue.  Eastgate Parkway was first conceived as a freeway that was to link Highway 403 directly to the Highway 401/427 interchange in Etobicoke.  While it was obviously not constructed as a freeway, it is an fairly efficient at-grade divided highway.
