Overhead signage at the loop ramp to Highway 401 East.
Highway 407 has been widened several times through Mississauga since its
initial opening in 1998. When first constructed, Highway 407 was
opened with only four lanes between Highway 403 in Mississauga and Highway
410. Later, in 2004, Highway 407 was widened to six lanes between this
interchange and Highway 410. In 2007 the tollway was widened again,
this time to eight lanes easterly from this interchange. Finally, in
2011, Highway 407 was widened to six lanes between Highway 403 in
Mississauga and this interchange. Photo #1 taken: September 23rd, 2007. Photo #2 taken: September 9th, 2011. Photo #3 taken: October 28th, 2020. |

Overhead advanced signage for the Highway 401
interchange. The 401 ramp was widened from one to two lanes as part of
the 407 widening that saw the highway widened to 6-lanes westerly from
Hurontario Street to Highway 401 in 2004.
The right-most 407 lane now defaults off at the 401 interchange. Photo taken: October 7th, 2011. |

Highway 407 looking west from the Winston Churchill Road overpass in
Mississauga. Winston Churchill Road is located roughly at kilometre
marker 36. Between 2004, and 2007, the upper photo highlights where the
407 transitioned
from four- to six-lanes. This section of freeway
was widened to eight lanes in 2007. Upper photo taken: May 25th, 2005. Lower photo taken: September 9th, 2011. |

Highway 407 looking east from the Winston Churchill Road overpass in western
Mississauga. These photos show the progress of two widening projects
that took place during the 2000s. During the 2004 construction season,
Highway 410 was widened from four to six lanes (three per direction) between
Highway 401 and Hurontario Street. Later, in 2007, Highway 407 was
widened again, this time from six lanes to eight lanes (four per direction)
between Highway 401 and Highway 427. Upper photo taken: May 25th, 2005. Lower photo taken: August 18th, 2010. |

Easterly view from Heritage Drive along Highway 407. The rate at which
western Brampton has developed around Highway 407 is astounding.
Numerous prominent employers have located in Northwestern Mississauga, and
Southwestern Brampton adjacent to both Highway's 401 and 407 in recent
years. Photo taken: August 18th, 2010. |

Easterly view from the Mississauga Road overpass towards Financial Drive and
Mavis Road. Often times my photos of the 407 show deceivingly low
traffic volumes along the tollway. Off-peak traffic on the 407 is
typically light, (why pay for a toll road when the 401 isn't congested?).
At peak times, however, while the tollway is seldom congested, it is very
well utilized. Photo taken: May 29th, 2009. |

Advanced signage for Mavis Road. This signage was made for Highway 407
by a private sign shop, not MTO's signage department. Though the
quality of the sign is quite good, notice that 'Mavis Road' is written only
on a single line. MTO standard signage would have written 'Mavis Road'
on two lines. Photo taken: October 10th, 2009. |

Signage at the ramp to Mavis Road. Notice that Highway 10 is still

manufactured and installed late in 2004, almost 7 years after Highway 10 was
decommissioned through Brampton and Mississauga. Photo taken: October 10th, 2009. |

Overhead sign for in advance of Hurontario Street. Much like the
advanced sign posted at Mavis Road, this sign indicating Hurontario Street
as Highway 10 was erected long after the connecting link through Mississauga
and Brampton was repealed. Despite the fact that the Highway 10
reference is indeed an error, for historical reasons I hope that this sign
is never replaced. Photo taken: October 10th, 2009. |

Easterly view from Hurontario Street. Before 2004, Highway 407 narrowed to
4-lanes west of this interchange -- since 2004, Highway 407 through
Mississauga has been widened twice, first to six lanes in 2004, and then to
eight lanes in 2007. Upper photo taken: August 13th, 2006. Lower photo taken: June 6th, 2010. |

Overhead signage at the eastbound ramp to Highway 410. Take a look at how
big the pull-through signage is for Highway 407. All the new signs that
went up when the highway was widened to eight lanes are this massive. It's
a nicely designed sign, but I question if the size was necessary. Photo taken: October 10th, 2009. |

Two views looking easterly from the Goreway Drive overpass. In this
photo, both the on-and off-ramp toll collection gantries are visible.
The toll collection gantries work by first sending a radio transmission to
detect traffic. This radio transmission detects if a transponder is
present, and signals a series of laser beams to sweep the road and identify
the type of vehicle passing through the sensor. Dependant upon if a
transponder has been detected or not, a series of digital cameras then take
overlapping photos of the roadway to identify vehicle license plates.
Most license plates are recognized by computer software, however errant
plates still require human eyes to identify the plate number. Photos #1 and #2 taken: May 6th, 2012. Photo #3 taken: August 20th, 2017. |

Two views looking westerly from the Highway 50 overpass. While I
certainly don't at all fault the 407 Consortium for being as aggressive to
widen the highway to keep up with demand as they have; it is a shame that it
cost the grassed median that the freeway was constructed with. I have
always preferred driving beside well manicured grass rather than a concrete wall. Photo #1 taken: May 12th, 2005. Photo #2 taken: May 31st, 2009. Photos #3 and #4 taken: August 20th, 2017. |
