photo highlights the collector lane that leads both northbound and
southbound ramps into one lane joining the westbound 403 after the split
from the QEW. In the lower photo, notice the overhead signage supports
are centred in the median of the highway allowing for easy expansion of the
QEW to six lanes through the Freeman interchange. Upper Photo taken: May

Two views looking westerly along the QEW/403 from between Brant Street and
Guelph Line. Where the 403 is co-designated along Highway 403 is one
of the most chronically congested stretches of highway in the province.
Observe thick volume of traffic on the highway. Considering that these
photos were taken
at mid-afternoon on a weekday in April, it is not hard to understand why MTO
has recently undertaken several projects to widen the highway to 8-lanes
through all of Burlington and Oakville Upper Photo taken: April

Looking towards Hamilton from the Service Road overpass. At one point,
the Service Road interchange was a full interchange. At this time,
the Service Road served as the main entrance to Bronte
Provincial Park. When the park entrance to the provincial park was
relocated to a new site on Burloak Road, all but the Hamilton-bound off-ramp
was closed.

existing bridge will carry Hamilton-bound traffic, with the new structure
carrying Toronto-bound traffic.

minimize traffic along the often congested QEW through southern Mississauga.
