Looking Niagara-bound (east) along the QEW from the Winona Road overpass.
Given the QEW's modern 6-lane cross section, it is hard to fathom that until
the late 1960s the QEW featured many at-grade intersections.
Specifically, Winona Road was not grade-separated until 1969.

View looking across the Burlington Bay James N. Allen Skyway from North
Shore Boulevard. The original truss span was completed in 1959, and
was subsequently twinned with a concrete structure in 1987. The
Burlington Skyway is without a doubt the most impressive freeway structure
on an Ontario freeway.
