Overpass. The freeway segment of Highway 427 ends just south of Evans
Avenue (as shown in the picture), though the '0-marker' for Highway 427 is
actually located a few hundred metres southerly at Coules Court. Photo taken: July 12th, 2007. |

| City of Toronto | This picture showcases Highway 427 looking south
from the Bloor Street overpass in Etobicoke. This picture shows in
good detail the 'basketweave' structure between Bloor Street and the
QEW.
This 'basketweave' is the furthest south transfer between the core and
collector lanes along the highway. Picture taken: April 10th, 2005. Size: 50kb. |

| City of Toronto | Highway 427 looking south from the Rathburn Road
overpass in Etobicoke. This picture was taken prior to the ongoing
construction taking place on the 427 which will see high-mast lighting and
tall-wall barriers installed, replacing both the classic truss lighting, and
steel w-style barrier. Picture taken: August 1st, 2004. Size: 55kb. |

is only accessible from the 427's express lanes. The Collector lanes
simply default onto northbound Highway 27. Picture taken: May 12th, 2005. Size: 35kb. |

| City of Toronto | Signage denoting the northbound exit for the
eastbound 401. Past this exit, the 427 begins a series of fairly sharp
curves (the sharpest of which has an advisory speed of 70), where the
highway crosses the 401 and runs beside the
Airport. Click here

| City of Toronto | Advanced signage for the Westbound
Highway 401 exit. Due to the rather
odd geometry of the Highway 401/427
interchange, this exit logically departs from the left of the 427.

| City of Toronto | Signage denoting the exit for Westbound
Highway 401. After departing the 427,
this ramp quickly dives beneath the Southbound Highway 427 overpass and
forms the Mississauga segment of the collector lanes along the
401.

| Toronto - Mississauga Boundary | Advanced diagramical sign denoting the upcoming
southbound exit for both
Highway 409, and Pearson International Airport.
The eastbound 401 is not accessible from the southbound 427, as such, the
409 serves as a 'ramp-extension' connecting the two freeways. Picture taken: May 12th, 2005. Size: 30kb. |

| Toronto - Mississauga Boundary | Looking south from the Rexdale Boulevard
overpass. Just out of view in this photo is the
Highway 409
interchange, which is located about 2km south of Rexdale Boulevard.
Also, note that north of
Highway 409, the northbound carriageway has only 2
lanes per direction whereas the southbound carriageway has been widened to
three lanes. Picture taken: August 28th, 2005. Size: 50kb. |

| Toronto - Mississauga Boundary | Looking south from the Morning Star Road
overpass. Interestingly, for many years, Morning Star Drive met
Highway 427 at a signalized at-grade intersection that was located roughly
where the emergency vehicle cross-over is located in today's picture.
The Morning Star Road overpass replaced the former intersection in the early
1990s. Picture taken: August 28th, 2005. Size: 50kb. |

| Toronto - Mississauga Boundary | Looking north along Highway 427 from the Morning
Road overpass. Morning Star Road is located roughly half way between
Rexdale Boulevard and Finch Avenue. Notice, that because of the close
proximity of these interchanges, an extra auxiliary lane has been
constructed in both carriageways for merging. Picture taken: August 28th, 2005. Size: 50kb. |

| City of Toronto | Highway 427 looking north from the Finch Avenue
overpass. The Highway 407 interchange located in the distance
of this photo. Before the early 1990s, Highway 427 terminated just
north of Finch Avenue. It was extended northerly in 1993 as a
precursor to Highway 407's construction. Picture taken: August 28th, 2005. Size: 65kb. |

| City of Vaughan | Highway 427 looking south from the
Highway 7
overpass in Vaughan. Currently, Highway 7 marks the northern terminus
of the 427. Currently, the MTO is early in the planning stages of
further 427 extensions into northern York Region. However, no
construction timelines have been set, nor have any firm commitments to
extend the route been formally made. Picture taken: June 25th, 2004. Size: 70kb. |
