Looking west from the Ninth Line overpass in western Mississauga. Just
west of Ninth Line, the mainline Highway 407
lanes cross overtop of the 401. Considering the complexity of the
401/407 interchange, it is quite
surprising that is has but a two-levels.

Highway 401 looking east from the 2nd Line West overpass towards the Mavis
Road interchange. The Mavis Road interchange was completed in late
1999. The Mavis Road overpass was designed so that the abutments can
be removed, allowing the structure to be elongated to support a C/D
underneath the overpass.

opened in 1959.

View looking easterly from the McLaughlin Road overpass towards Hurontario
Street. East of McLaughlin Road Highway 401 has not seen a major
reconstruction since it was first widened to 6-lanes in the 1970s.
Virtually all urban freeways in Ontario used to look like this before they
were retrofitted with tall-wall barrier and high-mast lighting. While
high mast lighting and tall-wall barrier are an improved design from an
operational standpoint, it is unfortunate that Ontario's freeways are losing
their past character as they are reconstructed. It is also unfortunate
that truss lighting is not being used in new applications not suitable for
high-mast lighting.

Looking westerly from the Hurontario Street (Highway 10)
overpass in Mississauga. Notice the somewhat odd configuration
of this interchange. The odd shape is due to the interchange not being
realigned when it was converted from a cloverleaf interchange into a parclo
A-4 type.
