looking west from the Fisher-Hallman Road overpass in Kitchener. The
highway's median widens considerably for a short distance

the initial portion of the highway was opened in the 1970s than what was
actually built later in the 1990s. Upper photo taken: June 10th, 2005. Lower photos taken: August 11th, 2016. |
