Historical Highway 122 Photographs
 Above - New Shook's Hill Interchange on the Queen Elizabeth Way at Southdown Road/Erin Mills Pkwy (June, 1961) Photo Courtesy of Archives of Ontario (Series RG-14-151-5-26, Photo #ES15-002) This British Motorway-style "rotary" interchange on the Queen Elizabeth Way at Southdown Road/Erin Mills Parkway was the only one ever built in Ontario. This interchange was modified slightly in the 1980s with two minor ramp realignments. However, the prominent traffic circle configuration seen in this photo existed up until 2000, when this interchange was completely rebuilt. See an Enlarged Photo here. 
 Left - Shooks Hill Rotary Underpass on the Queen Elizabeth Way in Mississauga (October 28, 1977) Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation Right - Facing east along the Queen Elizabeth Way at the Shooks Hill Rotary Interchange in 1977. Traffic travelling southbound from Erin Mills Parkway to Southdown Road passes below the QEW through the underpass in the foreground, while northbound traffic from Southdown Road to Erin Mills Parkway passes across the QEW on the overpass in the background. The British Motorway-inspired Shooks Hill Rotary Interchange was built in 1959. It was the only interchange of its kind ever built in Ontario. The Shooks Hill Rotary Interchange was removed during a multi-year construction project that began in 1998. The fact that the photographer was able to take this photo from the highway's median in the middle of Mississauga speaks to the comparatively low traffic volumes on the QEW at that time.

 Left - Shooks Hill Rotary Overpass on the Queen Elizabeth Way in Mississauga. Although it isn't clear in this photo, an example of the Ministry of Transportation's earliest series of traffic surveillance cameras can be seen mounted to a pole just to the right of the overpass. This experimental freeway traffic management system was established along the QEW through Mississauga in 1975. This pilot project ultimately led to the development of the MTO's present-day COMPASS freeway traffic management system. Photo taken in August, 1979. Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation Right - Facing north across the Shooks Hill Rotary Overpass in Mississauga in 1979. This overpass was completed in 1959 and was demolished in 2001, during the reconstruction of the Shooks Hill Interchange. Photo taken in August, 1979.
