| City of Brampton Regional Municipality of Peel |
This is a blast from the past! This photo shows an abandoned Highway 7 alignment just west of Creditview Road in Brampton. Notice that the centreline is painted with white roadpaint, a practice that has been extinct since the mid 1970s when yellow centrelines became the standard. This abandoned alignment is dwarfed by a railway overhead that is just to the south of this old alignment. Picture taken May 8th, 2004 |

This picture is looking north along Highway 7/410 just north of Queen Street in Brampton. There are few references left to this now defunct multiplex, and I think in the near future these few remaining references may be removed.... signage buffs get your cameras ready.

| City of Vaughan Regional Municipality of York |
This picture is looking west towards Islington Avenue along Highway 7 in the centre of Woodbridge. Before 1997 Islington avenue was actually known as York Road 7, but when Highway 7 was downloaded to the Region of York, Islington Avenue was given number 17, freeing up York Road 7 for Highway 7, as Highway 7 was deemed to important a number to change.

This picture is looking west from the Dufferin Street overpass along Highway 7, this curve was created in 1987 when Highway 7 was rerouted from Bathurst and Centre Streets to this new alignment. The grade separation and connecting route (via Langstaff Road) was created at this time too, this new Highway 7 was built to facilitate the construction of the 407. Picture taken July 23rd, 2004 |

This picture showcases Highway 7 looking east from the Dufferin Street overpass. Dufferin Street was the first structure constructed for the new Highway 7 expressway that was built to allow the 407 to be constructed in the same right of way as the existing Highway 7. In this photo you can see the eastbound lanes are being resurfaced by York Region. Highway 7 takes quite a beating from truck traffic and despite being paved with a very high grade of pavement fairly recently, 7 needs to be rehabilitated fairly regularly.
