Advance signage for the core to collector slip ramp located on nortbound Highway 427 near Highway 5/Dundas Street in Etobicoke. Here you see some of the MTC's changing signage standards between 1981 and 1989. Summer of 1981. |

Looking north along the northbound Highway 427 express lanes near the Bloor Street overpass in Etobicoke. Summer of 1981. |

Looking north along the northbound Highway 427 express lanes near the Burnhamthorpe Road overpass in Etobicoke. As I mentioned in the 1989 set, it's fairly unusual to have the the name of a King's highway displayed in text rather than in a crown graphic. Summer of 1981. |
| Very nice panoramic view of Highway 427. looking south towards the Burnhamthorpe Road interchange. Aside from a few minor alterations to the signage, this is exactly what the 427 looked like up until a few years ago (c. 2004). Once the massive rehabilitations to the 427 are completed over the next several years, it'll likely be unrecognizable from this photo. Summer of 1981. |

| Here's a gantry located on Westbound Eglinton Avenue at the Highway 27/401/427 interchange in Etobicoke. Notice the lack of reference to Highway 427 NORTH in this gantry. Also, notice the second gantry, blurred in the background, that seems to have a text only sign where the Highway 427 northbound onramp is today. Airport Expressway maybe? Summer of 1981. |
