This photo shows Highway 7/8 looking west from
the Fisher-Hallman Road overpass in Kitchener. The carriageways split
in the foreground only to rejoin a short distance later, the only reason
that I can think of for why the carriages way split and rejoin in this
fashion, is that in the early 1990s the divided Highway 7/8 ended here.
