Southerly view as the ramp to Eglinton Avenue departs from Highway 27.
Highway 27 meets Eglinton Avenue at a half-cloverleaf interchange that favours
movements to the east. When the Eglinton Avenue interchange
was first constructed, it was assumed that Eglington Avenue would be
converted to the
Richview Expressway through Etobicoke.

A rather odd sign denoting the northern 'terminus' of
Highway 427. Though this particular
sign was recently erected, an ends sign has existed at this location
for a number of years. This sign marks the northern end of the MTO's
jurisdiction over Highway 27.

This view looks southerly towards the Woodbine race track overpass.
Highway 27 is a controlled access highway for virtually its entire length
within the City of Toronto. This interchange, as well as the
interchange with Dixon Road have existed along the highway since the 1950s.
Given the (former) highway's high design standards and access control, I
suspect that at some point the province was planning on converting Highway
27 to a freeway along this alignment.

Southerly view towards the traffic signal at Carrier Drive. I took
numerous photos of Highway 27 through northwestern Etobicoke because the
highway exhibits a unique vintage. Most
older four-lane (or wider) highways across the GTA have been reconstructed
more recently than Highway 27.
