Ends signage for the southern terminus of Highway 410 at the Highway
403/401
interchange. Interestingly, despite being a through-route,
Highway 403
was not originally accessible from the 410. This is especially odd
considering that an underpass under Highway 401 was constructed with a
direct link in mind when Highway 410 was first constructed. This underpass sat
unused for almost a decarde until the early 90s when the ramps to Highway 403 were finally
opened. Photo taken: August 2nd, 2004. |

This Photo is taken driving southbound at the southern end of Highway 410 at Highways 401 and 403. I really like the layout of the overhead sign exiting to Highway 401. The signage does an excellent job of conveying that the middle exiting lane is a decision lane and does not default to either direction of Highway 401. Similar signage formerly existed along Highway 404 approaching the 401 before the HOV lane was added. Photo taken: July 2nd, 2010. |

Overhead advanced sign for the Courtneypark interchange along Highway 410.
This sign is quite unique as it is one of the few left in the province that
uses the old style angled arrow. This sign style pre-dates bilingual
signage. It was during the switch to bilingual signage that the
rounded advanced arrows were introduced. Photo taken: February 21st, 2010. |

Overhead signage at the ramp to Courtneypark Drive. Take a look at the
right-side abutment of the Courtneypark Drive overpass. This abutment
was designed in such a way that it can be converted to a central pier,
allowing an adjacent structure to be constructed. This intuitive
design would allow the MTO to construct a set of collector lanes without
replacing the existing overpass should traffic volumes warrant. Photo taken: February 21st, 2010. |

Highway 410 looking south from the Courtneypark Road overpass. In the distance of this Photo is the 401/403/410 mega-interchange. The high level overhead from the EB 401 to the NB 410 is arguably the most impressive freeway to freeway flyover in Ontario.

Two views of Highway 410 looking north from the Courtneypark Road overpass. I think that the upper photo looks quite congested, which I suppose is fitting given the amount of traffic that is found in the Highway 410 corridor. The lower photo I took as an attempt to capture the Brampton skyline. Unfortunately the most predominant structures visible in Brampton's skyline are the high voltage power lines that run beside the 407. Take a look at just how many high mast light's are visible on the right side of the night photo.

Exit signage for Highway 407 in front of the Derry Road overpass. The
Derry Road structure, (like Courtneypark) was designed so that the
abutments could be converted to central piers. Both sides of the Derry
Road overpass were extended in 1995 to allow a pair of braided ramps to be
constructed between Highway 407 and Derry Road. Photo taken: February 21st, 2010. |

Looking north towards the Highway 407
interchange from the Derry Road overpass. The Highway 407 interchange could
be located in such
close proximity to the Derry Road interchange because of the braided ramps
that were built to separate the Derry Road and Highway 407 interchanges.
Without ramp braiding, the close proximity of the Derry and Highway 407
interchanges would have been a major source of congestion along Highway 410. Photo taken: July 2nd, 2010. |

To get this photo, I had to park my car on the shoulder of the freeway and
then climb up a dirt stockpile. Considering how similar this photo
looks to the photo that appears below, from road level, I am not sure I
should have expended the extra effort. Photo taken: August 13th, 2006. |

Looking north along Highway 410 from the Clark Boulevard overpass.
Only one interchange was constructed to serve Highway 410 when it was still
a fledgeling super-2 highway. Before the 410 was twinned, the highway
resembled a two lane Highway 7 through York Region. Grade separations
were constructed to separate cross-traffic from Highway 410 traffic from
Steeles Avenue northerly. Turning traffic was directed down connector
ramps that later were incorporated into the freeways interchanges -- take a
look at the map scans I have included on this page Photos taken: August 28th, 2005. |

Highway 410 looking north from the Queen Street overpass. From Queen
Street northerly to Franceshini Road (a distance of about 1km) Highway 410
is depressed below grade. Presumably, the freeway is depressed to
minimize disruption to the surrounding residents. Earth berms do an
excellent job of mitigating highway noises. Photo taken: May 12th, 2005. |

Drive has been converted to a pedestrian overpass. Photo taken: April 10th, 2005. |

includes some photos of this signage when it marked the northern terminus of
the freeway. Photo taken: June 6th, 2010. |

Highway 410 looking south from the Bovaird Road (Highway 7-West) Overpass. It's difficult to imagine today, but at the time when the 410 was first constructed, it was as much of a by-pass for Highway 7 as it was for Highway 10. Prior to the completion of Highway 410, Highway 7 followed Main Street through Downtown Brampton. Again, hard to imagine today, but until the early 1990s, Highway 7 was still primarily a rural highway through most of Peel and York regions. Upper photo taken: August 1st, 2004.

Northbound view from the Bovaird Drive overpass along Highway 410.
Note the clearing visible along the west side of the highway past the
southbound ramps. This clearing once carried Highway 410 directly to
Heart Lake Boulevard. Highway 410 ended at this transition to Heart
Lake Boulevard between 1979 and 2007. Between Steeles Avenue and Bovaird
Drive the 410 was constructed overtop of Heart Lake Road's alignment. Photos taken: December 6th, 2009. |

Region. Photo taken: November 7th, 2009. |

Southerly view from the Sandalwood Parkway overpass. Highway 410
was designed to be very easily widened from four to six lanes. It
would be very easy to add an extra lane of concrete to the outer sides of
each carriageway, however the impacts to the concrete gores at all ramp
entrances and exits will be significant. Photo taken: November 7th, 2009. |

View looking northerly from the Sandalwood Parkway overpass. This is
a 'nitpicky' observation, however notice that the yellow lines are painted
in different places on the concrete driving surfaces of the northbound and
southbound lanes. Typically, the passing (left lane) is narrower than other
lanes on a multilane highway. In this case, the southbound lanes are
striped properly, while the northbound lanes are improper. Photo taken: November 7th, 2009. |

Two northerly views from the Countryside Drive overpass towards the Mayfield
Drive interchange. The upper photo shows Highway 410 just after the
northbound lanes had opened to traffic as far northerly as Mayfield Road.
Note the rather odd overhead sign for Mayfield Road pictured. The
lower photo shows the highway from the same vantage point with all lanes
open to Highway 10. Note that in the more recent photo, that the speed limit is reduced to ease
the transition from the Highway 410, the freeway to Highway 10, the
arterial. A similar reduced speed limit is in effect along
Highway 417 Westbound as it approaches Arnprior. Photo taken: December 6th, 2009. |

Three different overhead signs for the same interchange. The change
from the first overhead to the second overhead is pretty understandable,
seeing as the in 2007, Highway 410 actually ended at Mayfield Road.
Note the changes between the 2009 photo and the June 2010 photo however.
Evidently the initial signing plan that did not do a sufficient job at
delineating the upcoming Hurontario Street/Valleywood Boulevard interchange.
Various guidance improvements were carried out at and in advance of the
interchange to further delineate that Hurontario Street is no longer a
through street at the Highway 410 interchange. Upper photo taken: September 23rd, 2007. Middle photo taken: December 6th, 2009. Lower photo taken: June 6th, 2010. |

Southbound view of Highway 410 from the Mayfield Drive overpass. Note
the transition between concrete and asphalt driving surfaces. Phase I
and II (Bovaird to Mayfield) were paved in concrete, while Phase III
(Mayfield to Highway 10) is paved in asphalt. Given that the 410
extensions were designed in tandem with each other it surprises me that the
pavement designs were not the same. Photo taken: December 6th, 2009. |

Northerly view along Highway 410 from the Mayfield Drive overpass. Highway
410 swings very abruptly to the west north of Mayfield Drive to join Highway

10's right-of-way. Photo taken: December 6th, 2009. |
