West- Bound |
|
| City of Brant County | This view looks northerly along Highway 24 where
Highway 5 ran concurrent with Highway 24. Note the rather odd
four-lane cross-section. Few rural highways in Ontario were ever built
to a four lane cross-section without a flush median to separate opposing
flows. Photo taken: October 16th, 2010. |

| City of Brant County | This view looks northerly along Highway 24, from
just north of the German School Concession Road. Photo taken: October 16th, 2010. |

|
| City of Brant County | This view looks northerly approaching the
eastern Highway 5 junction. This junction was extensively reconstructed in
2007. A reconstruction activity that included the removal of two rather
substantial channels that formerly facilitated direct right turn movements
between Highway 5 and 24. Photo taken: November 15th, 2008. |

Looking west towards the northern Highway 24
junction west of St. George. At this junction, through traffic must
turn left to continue along Highway 5. The installation of traffic
signals was a welcome addition to this intersection, however it is a shame
it came at the cost of the former northbound to eastbound channel. Photo taken: November, 2008. |

Two views looking west along Highway 5 approaching the
Highway 8 junction. This junction currently marks the current western
terminus of Highway 5. West of Highway 8,
the now defunct section of Highway 5 continues westerly to St. George, and
eventually Paris. Upper photo taken: July 31st, 2005. Lower photo taken: October 16th, 2010. |

Looking east along Highway 5 towards the Sydenham Road intersection north of
Hamilton. This is a fairly typical looking view of the very busy
Highway 5 between Peters and Clappinson's Corners'. Picture taken: July 31st, 2005. Size: 45kb. |

View looking easterly approaching the Highway 6 junction from Highway 5.
From this junction westerly, with the exception of a short segment within
the village of Waterdown itself, the former Highway 5 is no less than a four-lane
arterial highway easterly all the way to the Kingston Road interchange in Scarborough,
which is
some 50km away. Photo taken: August 3rd, 2009. |

This green sign in a roundabout way denotes the present eastern terminus of Highway
5. Old Highway 5 as Dundas Street continues to carry eastbound traffic
through to Waterdown and beyond. Photo taken: August 3rd, 2009. |

| Highway 6 crosses Highway 5 at Clappison's Corner; Highway 5 is bound for Waterdown and Peters Corners. Click here for Highway 6 images. | |||

Westerly view at Clappinsons Corners. At one time this busy intersection
was home to numerous businesses catering to the weary traveler. During the
past decade these old buildings have been purchased and raised by the
Ontario Government in preparation for the construction of an interchange to
replace
this intersection. It is expected, though not official, that a new
partial cloverleaf interchange favouring Highway 6 will be constructed at
this location within the decade (text written in 2010). Photo taken: August 3rd, 2009. |

| City of Toronto | A special ramp was created linking the express
lanes of Highway 427 to Dundas street via Cloverdale Road. This ramp
is important, since without it, Highway 5 (Dundas Street) would not be
accessible from the 427 express lanes coming from the QEW. Picture taken: May 12th, 2005. Size: 50kb. |

| City of Toronto |
This sign follows the previous advanced signage for the slip ramp. Notice in
this case, that the highway sign is actually located after the ramp.
This type of location for a sign is atypical of Ontario's freeways. Picture taken: May 12th, 2005. Size: 40kb. |
