Looking easterly from the Burnhamthorpe Road overpass
towards the Highway 407 interchange. The first stage
of the Highway 403/407 interchange was constructed in the early 1990s and at

Advanced signage for the ramp to Highway 407-East. Wisely the MTO chose pull-through lane signs in advance of the exit rather than an advanced arrow sign. A new overpass for Ridgeview Drive was constructed immediately behind this overhead signage during the 2010 construction season. Photo taken: October 9th, 2014. |

Advanced signage for the Highway 407-West interchange. When the first phase
of the Highway 403/407 interchange was constructed, it was anticipated that
Highway 403 would continue straight ahead through the interchange, rather
than the sharp curve to the south that it takes now. Because the
interchange was designed this way, the ramp to Highway 407-West exits from
the left of Highway 403. Photo taken: October 9th, 2014. |

Westerly view from the top of the Erin Mills Parkway overpass. Note
the "enforcement pocket" that has been constructed in the median.
Enforcement pockets were constructed at the request of the OPP during the construction of the
HOV lanes. They allow OPP cruisers safe refuge to enforce the
restricted use of the HOV lanes. Photo taken: October 6th, 2006. |

Several views looking easterly from Erin Mills Parkway. The Mississauga City
Centre Skyline dominates the horizon. Mississauga has a very impressive
cityscape for a city of its size -- especially since Mississauga is but a
large suburb of Toronto. Take notice of how many additional tall buildings
there are that dot the the City of Mississauga's skyline in 2011 compared to 2006.
Mississauga's Growth continues to be impressive. Upper photo taken: October 6th, 2006. Lower two photos taken: March 19th, 2011. |

Looking west from Creditview Road. Note CP's Galt subdivision which crosses
the 403 in the photo. CP's Galt railway line carries GO Trains (among other
freight traffic) between Toronto's Union Station and Milton. There is talk
of extending passenger service westerly along this line -- once again only
time will tell if this plan ever comes to fruition. The extension of
passenger rail along the Galt Subdivision is complicated by the fact
that the Galt Subdivision is CP's mainline through Southwestern Ontario. Photo taken: October 6th, 2006. |

Two views looking east from the Hurontario Street (Highway

opposing carriageways. The upper photo showcases both the stripped

Signage at the ramp to Cawthra Road, Eastgate Parkway and Eglinton Avenue.
Eastgate Parkway was first conceived as a freeway that was to link Highway
403 directly to the Highway 401/427 interchange in Etobicoke. While it
was obviously not constructed as a freeway, it is an fairly efficient
at-grade divided highway. Photo taken: May 11th, 2014. |

Partial overhead sign denoting the transfer from the HOV lanes to the
Highway 410 and 401 East Collectors. This sign is somewhat misleading
as both the through HOV-lane movement and the "exit" are both bound for
Highway 401 East. Photo taken: May 11th, 2014. |

Advanced diagramical signage for the Highway

split. Interestingly, though probably not surprising, that no effort was
made to differentiate the HOV lanes from the general purpose lanes on the

A centralized view of Highway 403 from the Eglinton Avenue overpass in
Mississauga. At Eglinton Avenue, westbound traffic turns 90degrees and
heads southwest. Interestingly, the southern Eglinton Avenue ramps do not
directly access the 403, instead they lead to the Cawthra Road
interchange, where a turn is required to access the freeway. Photo taken: August 28th, 2010. |

Highway 403 looking east (north) from the Eglinton Avenue overpass in
Mississauga. As shown in the photo, Highway 403 has a short
core-distributor system from Eglinton Avenue northerly to

401/403/410 interchange
which is located about 3km to the north. Photos taken: August 28th, 2010. |

Driving eastbound approaching the Highway Highway

In the collectors, there is another diagram sign advises drivers of the
upcoming split between Highway 401 and 410. Note that the yellow
roadside mounted lane diagram signs show Highway 410 as the exit, not
Highway 401. Inconsequential, but interesting nonetheless. Photo taken: December 12th, 2009. |
