Highway 401 looking east from the Dorchester Road overpass just east of London.  It is probably a reasonable assumption, that if modern environmental protection laws were in effect when Highway 401 was built in this area (in the mid 1950s), the DHO (predecessor to the MTO) would have chosen to not route the 401 straight through the Dorchester swamp.

Highway 401 looking west from the Towerline Road overpass.  Towerline Road used to make an important connection as a shortcut route between Highway 401, and Highway 53 during the late 80s when Highway 403 was only complete as far west as Highway 53 south of Eastwood.  Since that the 403 was completed, the Towerline Road interchange is only lightly traveled.

Another view of the Highway 74/401 partial-cloverleaf interchange.  Before Highway 401 was widened to six-lanes in this area in the mid 1990s, Highway 74 met the 401 at a parclo A4 interchange.  When constructed in the 1950s, this was the only interchange on this stretch of Highway 401 between two provincial highways not to be constructed as a full cloverleaf.

A more centralized view of the Highway 73/401 interchange.  Notice the grading for the former loop ramps at this interchange.  Like most other interchanges between two highways between London and Woodstock, this was originally a cloverleaf interchange.

View looking northwesterly at Highway 401 at the Putnam Road interchange.  The Putnam Road interchange was the only originally Highway 401 interchange not to be drastically changed when the 401 was widened to six lanes between London and Woodstock.  The interchange wasn't reconfigured because of the railway line that follows the east side of Putnam Road.

A view of the westbound service centre at Beachville and the Foldens Line interchange.  Notice the very close proximity of the interchange and the service station.  Because the vintage 1950s overpass was not replaced when the Foldens Line interchange was constructed in the early 1980s, a diamond interchange had to be constructed, necessitating the close proximity to the service centre.

Looking southerly towards the eastbound Service Centre at Beachville.  Both the westbound and eastbound service centre's offer travelers a Wendy's Tim Horton's, and an Esso gas station.  The westbound centre also features a Mr. Sub and a Nicolby's Express.

Looking southeast at the 401/Sweaburg Road interchange.  Before the Sweaburg Road interchange was reconstructed in the early 1990s, the exit ramps followed much of the pre-401 Sweaburg Road alignment (visible on the near side of the current road in the photo) and met the 401 with very tight corners (much like the sharp ramps at the nearby Towerline Road interchange).

City of Woodstock Looking south towards the Highway 59/401 interchange.  Before Highway 401 was six-laned in the early 1990s, Highway 59 met the 401 at a very tight cloverleaf interchange.  Unlike most other cloverleaf's that were converted to diamonds, the remaining ramps at this interchange were fairly heavily realigned.
