Looking east towards the Rainbow Bridge from the Dorchester Road overpass.
Highway 420 is quite an impressive highway in the vicinity of the
QEW. The inside (core) lanes pictured here
are the mainline ramps to and from the QEW, while
the outer lanes connect to the Dorchester Road interchange, Montrose Road,
and also provide access to and from the QEW.

Looking east from the Drummond Road overpass. Highway 420 was
extensively reconstructed in 2003 and 2004 and now contains several
decorative elements, such as the grassed central median, and the ER light
standards that are a tribute to the highways rich heritage.

Driving eastbound on Highway 420 at the Portage Street overpass.
Interestingly, despite the overhead signage, Highway 420 does not end at the
Stanley Avenue intersection. The MTO's jurisdiction over the highway
ends at Stanley Avenue, however there is a connecting link agreement in
effect for Highway 420 between Stanley Avenue and the Rainbow Bridge.
