Photos shown in this table are arranged from West to East:

Proper Municipality Name	Photo Description	Photo
Pictures taken from driver's perspective appear offset from centre-line pictures:		East- Bound	West- Bound
City of Sarnia County of Lambton	This Lambton Road 22 Ends assembly was formerly a Highway 7 Ends assembly. From Sarnia, it is 694km to Ottawa, the Nation's Capital, via Highway 7. Photo taken: April 13th, 2005.
City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Looking westerly towards the western end of Highway 7. Up until 1997 Highway 7 ended at this signalized intersection with Barclay Avenue. Before the days of Highway 402, Highway 7 continued westerly through Sarnia to the St Clair River via London Road. Picture taken: April 13th, 2005.	Low-res High-res
City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Looking east towards the Highway 40 interchange. The interchange at Highway 40 was constructed when Highway 402 used this roadway alignment -- when Highway 402 was moved north to be extended easterly, this interchange was reconfigured to favour Highway 40 instead of what is now Highway 7, and the rest is history. Picture taken: April 13th, 2005.	Low-res High-res
City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Advanced signage for the Highway 40 interchange along Highway 7. Picture taken: April 13th, 2005.
Highway 40 carries traffic southerly from the 402 around Sarnia, through Wallaceburg to Highway 401 south of Chatham. Click here for Highway 40 images.

City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Looking west along Highway 7 towards the Highway 40 interchange in Sarnia. Before the days of the Highway 40 Sarnia Bypass Highway 7 actually continued into downtown Sarnia via London Road. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004. Size: 40kb.
City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Highway 7 looking west from just east of Waterworks Road. Before the Highway 402 was constructed to bypass Highway 7, Highway 7 was the main thoroughfare connecting Sarnia and the Bluewater Bridge to the rest of South Central Ontario. Because of the highway's former importance, it was built to the highest design standards (of its day), and still has a very major feel to this day, even after being bypassed for over 30 years. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004
Township of Warwick County of Lambton	Old meets new. This picture shows an original 1930s banked curve that was later bypassed with a much more gentle curvature. This picture was taken just to the east of Forest Road (Old Highway 21 North) and it looks west. Picture taken: October 12th, 2004
Township of Warwick County of Lambton	Lambton County generally does a nice job upkeeping its county road network, though I really dislike the use of a single yellow centre-line in rural applications. MTO would not stripe this road in this fashion if it were still within their jurisdiction. This view looks easterly atop the Highway 402 overpass. Photo taken: November 1st, 2008.	(720x480) (1440x960)
Township of Warwick County of Lambton	The last remaining reference to Highway 7 in Lambton County. Lambton renamed much of Highway 7 to Lambton Road 22. This renumbering is actually quite logical, and is derived from Highway 22 (also decommissioned) which ran on the same alignment as much of Highway 7 through Lambton. The County Road 22 designation now allows for a continuous route and number from Sarnia to northern London. Photo taken: July 31st, 2004.
Township of Warwick County of Lambton	Highway 7 looking east in the community of Warwick. This Concrete Bowstring bridge has been lovingly reconstructed by Lambton County. While the bridge rehabilitation did not restore the structure exactly to its 1930 specifications, it did include some historical modifications including embossed railings. Many of these Bowstring bridges are reaching the end of there life-spans at present, and unfortunately many are being replaced with more modern styled structures. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004

Municipality of Lambton Shores County of Lambton	Highway 7 at the northern junction of Highway 79 just south of Thedford. (Before being downloaded of course) to stay on Highway 7 you must turn left at Highway 79. Highway 7 ran concurrently with Highway 79 for about 20 km until Highway 79 turned south towards Watford. A Right turn at the pictured junction would lead drivers through Thedford, ultimately to Highway 21 at Port Franks Picture taken: July 31st, 2004
Lambton Shores - North Middlesex Boundary Lambton - Middlesex Boundary	This photo is looking east over the Ausable River Bridge which is located on the Middlesex-Lambton county line. In the distance you can see that Middlesex is resurfacing Highway 7 just to the east of the bridge. Middlesex has been very quick to resurface downloaded highways that lie in there jurisdiction. The County of Middlesex maintains an its County Road system to an excellent standard. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004
Municipality of North Middlesex County of Middlesex	View looking easterly at sunset towards the Ausable River Bridge. The occasional deep river valley cuts the otherwise flat plains of Middlesex and Lambton Counties. Photo taken: November 1st, 2008.	(720x480) (1440x960)
Municipality of North Middlesex County of Middlesex	This photo is looking west along Highway 7/81. Both of these highways in this area were downloaded to Middlesex County on January 1st, 1998. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004
Middlesex Centre / Lucan-Biddulph Boundary County of Middlesex	Easterly view along Highway 7 towards the Highway 4 intersection. Photo taken: April 13th, 2006.	(720x480) (1440x960)
Middlesex Centre / Lucan-Biddulph Boundary County of Middlesex	Eastbound junction assembly at the Highway 4 intersection. Photo taken: April 13th, 2006.	(720x480) (1440x960)
