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.

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.  Click here to see a satellite image of the interchange provided by Google Maps.

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.

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.

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.

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.
