Highway 7A looking west from the Island Road intersection towards Port Perry.  Interestingly, the causeway linking Port Perry with Scugog Island replaced a floating bridge.  This floating bridge was constructed by the county long before Highway 7A was assumed as a provincial highway.  Reportedly this floating bridge lasted until the mid 1960s.

Highway 7A looking east towards the intersection with Island Road.  Traffic signals were installed in 2004 when this intersection was entirely reconstructed.  During this reconstruction, the pictured hill was deeply cut, allowing for much better sightlines at the Island Road intersection.

Township of Cavan-Millbrook-North Monaghan

County of Peterborough

White sign denoting the numbering change along Highway 115 from Highway 7A/115.  Highway 7A was truncated at the 115 interchange just east of Cavan when Highway 7 was rerouted along part of Highway 7A's alignment between Highway 28 and Scott's Corners in 2003.  This means that Highway 7A's eastern terminus is no longer at Highway 7.
