Page 1: Historical Highway 10 Photographs (1920-1979)
 Above - Junction of Hwy 7 & Hwy 10 at Westervelt Corners north of Brampton, facing south along Hurontario Street in 1930. See an Enlarged Photo here. Photo Courtesy of Archives of Ontario (Series RG-14-162-2, Volume #1) This photo shows the original directional intersection at the Hwy 7 & Hwy 10 Junction north of Brampton. For many years, Hwy 7 & Hwy 10 shared a short concurrent routing between this highway junction at Westervelt Corners (located at the present-day intersection of Bovaird Drive & Hurontario Street) and Downtown Brampton. The two highways shared this route from the time route numbers were first introduced on Ontario Highways in 1925 up until the early 1980s, when Hwy 7 was rerouted along Bovaird Drive and the newly-built Hwy 410. Note the pre-King's Highway triangular Ontario Provincial Highway signs and the unusual square "STOP" sign at right. Compare this 1930 photo to this 2004 photo of the same intersection.

The Hwy 10 Interchange was originally constructed in 1957 as a full eight-ramp cloverleaf. In 1975-1976, the two far-side loop ramps were removed, creating a "Parclo A-4" interchange that stood until 2009-2010, when the interchange was reconstructed again. The lack of development around the interchange at the time this photo was taken is quite remarkable - it certainly doesn't look like this today. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken in 1974. Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation  Above - Approaching the Hwy 10 & Hwy 24 Junction on Hwy 9 in Orangeville in 1977. Note the green guide sign at right, showing the concurrent routes of Hwy 9, Hwy 10 and Hwy 24. Until the Orangeville sections of Hwy 9 and Hwy 24 were downloaded in 1998, this highway junction represented a rare situation where three King's Highways shared a concurrent route.
