Page 5: Historical Highway 401 Photographs (1980 to 1989)
![]() Above - Facing east along Eastbound Hwy 401 from the Hwy 410 Interchange in Mississauga in 1980. Originally, traffic entering Eastbound Hwy 401 from Southbound Hwy 410 had to use the sub-collector lanes approaching Dixie Road, which can be seen in the foreground. The Dixie Road sub-collector lanes were separated from the Eastbound Hwy 401 lanes by a steel beam guide rail median to minimize weaving conflicts. A temporary transfer existed near Tomken Road to allow traffic from Hwy 410 to leave the Dixie Road sub-collector lanes and join the Eastbound Hwy 401 lanes. This temporary transfer was removed in the early 1990s, when a new flyover was built from Southbound Hwy 410 to Eastbound Hwy 401. Photo taken on October 7, 1980.

The acceleration lane on the right side of Hwy 401 is
the on-ramp from Church Street. The Church Street Interchange (Former Exit #400) was one of Hwy 401's original 1940s-era interchanges. The Church Street
Interchange was closed off to traffic permanently in 1987, when the new Westney Road Interchange was completed nearby. Photo taken on October 21, 1980.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation

The fact that the
photographer was able to stand in the middle of the roadway to take this photo attests to the comparatively low traffic volumes using Hwy 401 through
Toronto at the time. It would be impossible to stand here and take a photo from this location today.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation

![]() Left - Dual bridges over Oakville Creek on Hwy 401 near Milton in 1981. Before Hwy 401 was widened between Milton and Kitchener in the 1990s, most
of the underpasses and watercourse crossings were dual structures. During the widening of Hwy 401, the median gap between the structures was filled in.

Although it isn't particularly clear in this photo, the left-hand overhead guide sign in the background reads "403 to 10 Mississauga". At the time this photo was taken in the Summer of 1982, Hwy 403 ended at Hwy 10 near the Square One Shopping Centre. The Mississauga-to-Oakville section of Hwy 403 wasn't opened to traffic until December, 1982. Photo taken on August 18, 1982. Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation

The structure in the foreground carries the eastbound lanes of Hwy 401. The Hwy 410 loop ramp was closed off to traffic in 1990 when a new flyover was completed between Southbound Hwy 410 and Eastbound Hwy 401. During the early 1990s, the hill in the background was removed in order to provide a direct ramp connection between Hwy 410 and Hwy 403. Photo taken on October 18, 1982.

construction of a new interchange at this location in 1986-1987. Photo taken on May 31, 1983.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation Right - Facing north across the Winston Churchill Boulevard Overpass on Hwy 401 in Mississauga in 1983. The rural two-lane road shown here has
changed quite dramatically since this photo was taken. In 1987, a new interchange was built at Winston Churchill Boulevard. In addition, the road was
widened to six lanes, in response to several new housing and business park developments in the area. Photo taken on May 31, 1983.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation

Note that the original cloverleaf ramp configuration at the Hwy 401 & Hwy 25 Interchange was retained, even though Hwy 401 had just been reconstructed and widened to six lanes the previous year. The full cloverleaf interchange at Hwy 401 & Hwy 25 was replaced with a standard "A-4 Parclo" interchange in the late 1980s. Photo taken in July, 1983.

Prior to 1983, there were no interchanges on Hwy 401 between Port Union Road and Liverpool Road. During the 1970s, a new interchange was planned for Moore
Road (now known as Whites Road) in order to provide improved access to the quickly-developing urban areas of Pickering. The interchange at Whites Road was
one of several new interchanges constructed along Hwy 401 between Toronto and Oshawa over the past 30 years. Photo taken on September 2, 1983.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation

At the time this photo was taken, access to Hwy 403 was closed while the flyover across the future Hwy 401 Express Lanes was being constructed. During this construction project, traffic on Westbound Hwy 401 bound for Westbound Hwy 403 was able to utilize the newly-completed Hwy 403 Express Lanes instead, which had opened to traffic earlier in 1984.

Basketweave was one of the most important features of the Hwy 401 Express-Collector Lane expansion through Mississauga. Today, thousands of eastbound
Hwy 401 motorists use the tunnel daily to access Hwy 427 and Toronto's Pearson Airport. Photo taken on June 13, 1985. See an
Enlarged Photo here.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation
![]() Left - Facing east across the new Airport Basketweave structure on Eastbound Hwy 401 in 1985. Note that the structure was designed to accommodate
three lanes of traffic during the various construction stages. Once construction was completed, the overpass was restriped to allow two lanes of traffic
only. Photo taken on June 13, 1985.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation Right - Facing west across the new Airport Basketweave structure on Eastbound Hwy 401 in Mississauga (June 13, 1985)Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation

![]() Left - Reversed speed limit sign on Hwy 401 at Hwy 410. It was common practice up until the 1980s to remove or reverse regulatory speed limit signs in construction zones where advisory speed signs were in use, so that the regulatory speed limit was not visible to traffic. However, in many cases, the regulatory signs were not restored after construction ended, as was the case here. Also note the absence of the Hwy 401 Express Lanes at left, which were not built until the early 1990s. Photo taken on October 21, 1986. Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation Right - Reversed speed limit sign on Hwy 401 at the Hwy 410 Interchange in Mississauga in 1986. In the background of this photo, the approaches to the old 1950s Kennedy Road Overpass have been removed, in preparation for the structure's demolition. The removal of the Kennedy Road Overpass was required in order to construct the Hwy 401 & Hwy 410 Interchange. Photo taken on October 21, 1986. Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation
![]() Left - Facing east along Hwy 401 from the Hwy 410 Interchange in 1986. The sub-collector lanes at right were used to separate traffic exiting from Eastbound Hwy 401 to Dixie Road and traffic entering Eastbound Hwy 401 from Hwy 410 from the through lanes of Eastbound Hwy 401 at left. Photo taken on October 21, 1986. Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation Right - Facing west across the Hwy 410 Underpass on Westbound Hwy 401 in Mississauga in 1987.

"Express Lanes" on the middle sign. When bilingual signs were introduced on Hwy 401 in Toronto in the early 1990s, these signs were changed so that only
the word "Express" was indicated. Photo taken in September, 1988.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation Right - Oakville Creek Bridge on Hwy 401 west of Milton. This bridge was extended into the median in 1993-1994 when Hwy 401 was widened to six lanes
west of Milton. Photo taken on May 24, 1989.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation
![]() Left - Facing west along Hwy 401 towards Guelph Line at the Oakville Creek Bridge in 1989. By the late 1980s, traffic volumes on Hwy 401 between
Milton and Cambridge had grown to the point where the original four lane highway was no longer able to accommodate the booming economic and travel demands
of the province. In 1993, the first in a series of construction contracts was awarded to widen Hwy 401 from Milton to Cambridge to six lanes. The widening
work was more or less completed by the end of 1996. Photo taken on May 24, 1989.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation Right - Construction of the new Hwy 410 Flyover on Hwy 401 in Mississauga in 1989. This massive construction project took place between 1988 and 1990 and resulted in the completion of new ramps between Hwy 401 West and Hwy 410. In addition, the original 1970s loop ramp from Southbound Hwy 410 to Eastbound Hwy 401 was replaced with a directional flyover. The falsework required to construct these cast-in-place concrete flyovers at Hwy 401 and Hwy 410 was quite astonishing! Photo taken on July 4, 1989.
