This picture shows Highway 407 looking west from the Woodbine Avenue
overpass in Markham. The west side of the Woodbine Avenue interchange
was opened in 2002, after significant negotiations with area land owners.
The Woodbine Avenue interchange also features braided ramps separating the
Woodbine and
Highway 404 interchanges. |

Looking east along Highway 407 from Woodbine Avenue. Woodbine Avenue
is located roughly at kilometre marker 84. From the
Highway 404 interchange easterly to Warden
Avenue, the eastbound Highway 407 carriageway has an auxiliary lane to
improve weaving and traffic flow along the highway. Photo taken: August 28th, 2005. Size: 45kb. |

In 2010, Highway 407 will be eight-laned east of Highway 404, so really, I
took these photos at McCowan Road to further document what the highway
looked like with its grass median in tact. In 1997, when the bulk of
the highway first opened, the carriageways were split with a grass median as
pictured here for the entire length of the road. Photo taken: October 10th, 2009. |

The 407 is an all electronic toll highway. Frequent highway users
lease a transponder from that is read by these gantries to signal the start
and finish of the trip. Motorists without a transponder may still use
the highway -- a photo of their license plate is taken, and a surcharge is
added to the per kilometre tolling rate. Photo taken: June 15th, 2007. |
