King's Highway 7A - O N T H I G H W A Y S
Highway 7A is a short cut route bypassing the rather circuitous northern routing that Highway 7 takes via the Lindsay Highway. Highway 7A's main purpose is to connect Highway 7 West to Peterborough and all points easterly. Highway 7A was totally spared by both the 1997 and 1998 provincial downloading programs.

* In summer 2003 8 km of Highway 7A was re-designated to Highway 7, and Highway 115. This rectified the discontinuous section of Highway 7 from the Parkway (on the Peterborough Bypass) to Highway 7/7A junction (north of Springville). However this change also created a problem; Highway 7A no longer has both of its termini with Highway 7, something that I think is an irresponsible decision made by the MTO. Thus westbound distance are shown from 7A's former (pre-2003) terminus in parenthesis after the current distances, which are shown as normal.
