View of the western terminus of Highway 7A at
Manchester. Durham Regional Road 21 continues straight ahead from this
junction. Regional Road 21 is a good quality road, worthy of a King's Highway designation.
It makes a
very useful connection between Highway 7A and Highway 404. Photo taken: July 5th, 2009. |

Looking west towards the signalized intersection
with Queen Street along Highway 7A. Note that the oversized junction
sign seems to direct westbound traffic the wrong way down the eastbound
ramp. Picture taken: July 5th, 2009. |

View looking easterly at the Old Simcoe Road
intersection. Long ago, Old Simcoe Road was the principle road north
from Oshawa into Scugog Township. Traffic signals were added to this
intersection in 2005 as a result of several new housing developments in the
area. Photo taken: September 2nd, 2012. |

View looking westerly towards the Old Simcoe
Road intersection. The vibrant reds of autumn have started showing on
the foliage adjacent to Highway 7A. Vibrant fall colours are
indicative of a hot summer -- the summer of 2012 was quite hot and dry. Photo taken: September 2nd, 2012. |

Looking east towards the Simcoe Street
intersection from Ella Street along Highway 7A. During peak travel

Highway 7A looking west from the Island Road
intersection towards Port Perry. Interestingly, the causeway linking
Port Perry with Scugog Island replaced a floating bridge. This
floating bridge was constructed by the county long before Highway 7A was
assumed as a provincial highway. Reportedly this floating bridge
lasted until the mid 1960s. Photo taken: August 17th, 2005. |

Highway 7A looking east towards the intersection
with Island Road. Traffic signals were installed in 2004 when this
intersection was entirely reconstructed. During this reconstruction,
the pictured hill was deeply cut, allowing for much better sightlines at the
Island Road intersection. Photo taken: August 17th, 2005. |

Highway 7A looking west towards the Island Road
intersection. Island Road is located about 500m west of this point.

View looking westerly along Highway 7A
approaching the eastern Lake Scugog Causeway. The eastern causeway is
far less dramatic then the western causeway; the eastern causeway is

northerly. Photo taken: August 22nd, 2006. |

White sign denoting the numbering change along
Highway 115 from Highway 7A/115. Highway 7A was truncated at the 115
interchange just east of Cavan when Highway 7 was rerouted along part of
Highway 7A's alignment between Highway 28 and Scott's Corners in 2003.
This means that Highway 7A's eastern terminus is no longer at Highway 7. Photo taken: September 2nd, 2005. |
