Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto

Start of the QEW in Toronto at the Humber river bridge. Highway 2 departs with the ramp to the right along Lake Shore Blvd. Summer of 1989.
End of the QEW in Toronto at Highway 2/Gardiner Expressway. The most interesting thing about this gantry is that it appears in 1989, when this shot was taken, Highway 2 was solely designated on the Gardiner Expressway. I cant remember when the switch occurred, but during the late 1990s, prior to downloading, this gantry showed both the Gardiner and Lake Shore as Highway 2.
Transition from the Toronto-bound QEW to Highway 2/Gardiner Expressway in Toronto. On the right is the ramp from the Toronto-bound QEW to Lake Shore Blvd. The Toronto skyline is in the background across from the Humber Bay. Summer of 1989.

Judging by the signage in some of these pictures, Highway 2 seems to be prefered over Highway 138, despite the fact that both routes are designated officially along this stretch of Brookdale Avenue. April of 1991.
