City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Looking westerly towards the western end of Highway 7. Before 1997 Highway 7 ended at this signalized intersection with Barclay Avenue. Before the days of Highway 402, Highway 7 continued westerly through Sarnia to the St Clair River via London Road. Picture taken: April 16th, 2005. Size: 60kb.
City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Advanced signage for the upcoming Highway 40 interchange along Highway 7. Click here for Highway 40 images. Picture size: 75kb.
City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Looking east towards the Highway 40 interchange. This portion of Highway 7 was at one point part of Highway 402. When Highway 402 was realigned to the north in the 1970s, this interchange was reconfigured to support free-flow movements on Highway 40 rather then Highway 7. Picture taken: April 16th, 2005.

City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Looking west along Highway 7 towards the Highway 40 interchange in Sarnia. Before the days of the Highway 40 Sarnia Bypass Highway 7 actually continued into downtown Sarnia via London Road. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004. Size: 40kb.

City of Sarnia County of Lambton	Highway 7 looking west from just east of Waterworks Road. Before the Highway 402 was constructed to bypass Highway 7, Highway 7 was the main thoroughfare connecting Sarnia and the Bluewater Bridge to the rest of South Central Ontario. Because of the highway's former importance, it was built to the highest design standards (of its day), and still has a very major feel to this day, even after being bypassed for over 30 years.

Township of Warwick County of Lambton	Old meets new. This picture shows an original 1930s banked curve that was later bypassed with a much more gentle curvature. This picture was taken just to the east of Forest Road (Old Highway 21 North) and it looks west. Picture taken: October 12th, 2004	(~ 40 kB)
Township of Warwick County of Lambton	The last remaining reference to Highway 7 in Lambton County. Lambton renamed much of Highway 7 to Lambton Road 22. This renumbering is actually quite logical, and is derived from Highway 22 (also decommissioned) which ran on the same alignment as much of Highway 7 through Lambton. The County Road 22 designation now allows for a continuous route and number from Sarnia to northern London.	(~ 30 kB)
Township of Warwick County of Lambton	Highway 7 looking east in the community of Warwick. This Concrete Bowstring bridge has been lovingly reconstructed by Lambton County. While the bridge rehabilitation did not restore the structure exactly to its 1930 specifications, it did include some historical modifications including embossed railings. Many of these Bowstring bridges are reaching the end of there life-spans at present, and unfortunately many are being replaced with more modern styled structures.

Municipality of Lambton Shores County of Lambton	Highway 7 at the northern junction of Highway 79 just south of Thedford. (Before being downloaded of course) to stay on Highway 7 you must turn left at Highway 79. Highway 7 ran concurrently with Highway 79 for about 20 km until Highway 79 turned south towards Watford. A Right turn at the pictured junction would lead drivers through Thedford, ultimately to Highway 21 at Port Franks Picture taken: July 31st, 2004	(~ 25 kB)
Lambton Shores - North Middlesex Boundary Lambton - Middlesex Boundary	This photo is looking east over the Ausable River Bridge which is located on the Middlesex-Lambton county line. In the distance you can see that Middlesex is resurfacing Highway 7 just to the east of the bridge. Middlesex has been very quick to resurface downloaded highways that lie in there jurisdiction. The County of Middlesex maintains an its County Road system to an excellent standard. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004	(~ 40 kB)
Municipality of North Middlesex County of Middlesex	This photo is looking west along Highway 7/81. Both of these highways in this area were downloaded to Middlesex County on January 1st, 1998. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004	(~ 25 kB)
Lucan Biddulph - Middlesex Centre Boundary County of Middlesex	Missing Something? This picture shows the Highway 7 ends assembly at the Highway 4 junction in Elginfield.	(~ 20 kB)
Lucan Biddulph - Middlesex Centre Boundary County of Middlesex	Highway 7 looking west at its western terminus at the Highway 4 junction in Elginfield. Highway 7 was truncated at Elginfield on January 1st, 1998. Picture taken: October 6th, 2004	(~ 40 kB)
Lucan Biddulph - Middlesex Centre Boundary County of Middlesex	A Highway 7 shield cosigned with an older-style Highway 23 trailblazer. Highway 23 meets Highway 7 about a kilometre east of Elginfield (where Highway 7 meets Highway 4). A fair amount of traffic on Highway 4 is destined to Highway 23 via Highway 7, as such, the route to Highway 23 is very well indicated in and around Elginfield.

Lucan Biddulph - Middlesex Centre Boundary County of Middlesex	This photo is looking west down the hill towards Elginfield. The first intersection in the foreground of the image is that of Highway 23. Highway 23's southern terminus is at Highway 7, northwards along Highway 23 traffic encounters such towns as Mitchell and Listowel. In the distance the junction with Highway 4 can be seen (which is shown in more detail in the picture above). Picture taken: October 6th, 2004	(~ 35 kB)




Perth South - Middlesex Centre Boundary Perth - Middlesex Boundary	Highway 7 looking west across the North Branch of the Thames River. Hills like the one shown in this picture are not typical of the otherwise boring typical Southwestern Ontario terrain. Picture taken: August 1st, 2004	(~ 45 kB)
Township of Perth South County of Perth	A last remaining reassurance marker for Highway 7/19 in Perth County (Sorry for the Poor Photo Quality).	(~ 40 kB)
Township of Perth South County of Perth	This picture is looking west along Highway 7/19 over the Trout Creek and Wildwood Lake. This section of Highway 7/19 was constructed in 1970 as part of the St Mary's Bypass. This section of Highway is built to a very high standard and was built with a wide enough Right of Way that it can be easily twinned and incorporated in a future London - Stratford Expressway, should such a route ever be constructed. Picture taken: August 1st, 2004	(~ 35 kB)
City of Stratford	This photo shows the junction of Highways 7 and 8 in Stratford. Stratford has very few reassurance markers and has removed all references to Highway 19. Before 1998 the furthest right sign on the gantry would have included a Highway 19 crown; 19 north is routed east along Ontario Street (concurrent with Highways 7 and 8) before heading north along Waterloo Street to Tralae. Picture taken April 16th, 2004	(~ 30 kB)
