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. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 2011) ![]()

Left - Facing west along Hwy 401 towards Mississauga from the Renforth Drive Overpass in 1980. Until the extension of the eastbound and westbound Hwy 401
Collector Lanes began in the early 1980s, the Express-Collector Lane system seen here collapsed into a conventional six-lane freeway about 2 km west of Renforth Drive.

Left - Facing west along the westbound Hwy 401 Express Lanes towards Mississauga from the Renforth Drive Overpass in 1980. The on-ramp from westbound Eglinton
Avenue can be seen joining into the westbound Hwy 401 Express Lanes at right. Originally, this was a two-lane on-ramp. During the widening of Hwy 401 at Hwy 427 in
2002-2003, the Eglinton Avenue ramp was reduced to a single lane in order to allow for the construction of a fourth through lane on westbound Hwy 401. See an
Enlarged Photo here. Photo taken on December 5, 1980.

Left - South ramp terminal at the Renforth Drive Interchange, facing north towards Hwy 401 in 1980. Note the internally-illuminated black and white "No Left
Turn" signs mounted to the traffic signal poles. The MTO used these internally-illuminated regulatory signs at its signalized intersections up until the 1990s, when
they were replaced with the symbolic red-and-white regulatory signs seen today. See an
Enlarged Photo here. Photo taken on December 5, 1980. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 2015) Right - Overhead guide sign for Renforth Drive at the end of the eastbound Hwy 401 off-ramp.

Left - Overhead guide sign on the westbound Hwy 401 Express Lanes, marking the distance to the Dixie Road, Hwy 403 and Hwy 410 Interchanges in 1980. Note that
Hwy 403 is signed "To Eglinton Avenue". At the time this photo was taken, Hwy 403 ended about 2 km south of Hwy 401 at the Eglinton Avenue Interchange. The highway
was not completed through to the Queen Elizabeth Way in Oakville until December, 1982. See an
Enlarged Photo here. Photo taken on December 5, 1980. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 2015) Right - Advance overhead guide sign for the Hwy 427 and Renforth Drive Exit on eastbound Hwy 401 in 1980. These two closely-spaced exits were essentially the first phase of the Express-Collector Lane System along Hwy 401 through Mississauga. Note that this exit was once signed as "Interchange #45". In the early 1960s, an exit numbering system was introduced along Hwy 401. Under this numbering system, interchanges were numbered sequentially from Windsor to the Quebec Boundary (west to east). Unfortunately, this sequential exit numbering system began to cause problems as new interchanges were constructed along Hwy 401 in subsequent years. Suffixed exits like Interchange 36A, for example, had to be implemented in order to prevent advancing all of the existing freeway exit numbers ahead by one. This problem was solved in 1982, when a new distance-based interchange numbering system was introduced on Ontario's freeways. Interchanges were numbered based on their approximate mileage point instead of their sequence. This new system allowed additional interchange numbers to be easily added in the future, since there would generally be a distance offset between a proposed and existing interchange.

Left - Beginning of the eastbound Hwy 401 Collector Lanes near Toronto International (Pearson) Airport in 1980. In 1982, the first contract was called in a
multi-year program to extend the Express-Collector Lane System westerly from this point to the Hwy 403 & Hwy 410 Interchange. See an
Enlarged Photo here. Photo taken on December 5, 1980. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 2015) Right - Approaching the Renforth Drive Interchange on the eastbound Hwy 401 Collector Lanes. When the Collector Lanes were first built here in 1971, Lane #4 exited to Renforth Drive, while Lanes #1 to #3 continued through to Hwy 427 and the Airport Expressway. When Metro Toronto decided against building the Richview Expressway along Eglinton Avenue, it changed the traffic patterns at the Hwy 401 & Hwy 427 Interchange. As a consequence of that decision, far more traffic began using Hwy 427 South than highway engineers had initially anticipated when the Hwy 401 & Hwy 427 Interchange was designed in the late 1960s. In order to provide more lane capacity in the eastbound Hwy 401 Collector Lanes, the lanes at the Renforth Drive exit were reconfigured during a highway widening project which began in 1983. Accordingly, Lane #4 was extended through to Hwy 427, so that four through lanes were provided on the approach to Hwy 427 instead of the original three through lanes seen here. See an Enlarged Photo here. Photo taken on December 5, 1980. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 2015) ![]() ![]()
Left - Overhead guide sign approaching the end of the eastbound Hwy 401 Collector Lanes, with pull-though arrows marking the lane arrangements for the ramps to
the Airport Expressway (Hwy 427 North) and Hwy 427 South. Until this section of the eastbound Hwy 401 Collector Lanes was widened in 1983-1984, the second lane to
Hwy 427 South developed from the right immediately upstream of this overhead sign. See an
Enlarged Photo here. Photo
taken on December 5, 1980. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 2015) Right - Overhead guide sign at the end of the eastbound Hwy 401 Collector Lanes, at the split between the Airport Expressway (Hwy 427 North) and Hwy 427 South. Note the diagonal arrows on the signboards indicating the turn-off. Shortly after these photos were taken, references to the Airport Expressway were removed and replaced with new signs indicating "Hwy 427 North" during a highway reconstruction project in 1981.

Above - Facing east along the Eastbound Collector Lanes of Hwy 401 approaching the Weston Road Overpass in Toronto in 1981. 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 - © King's Printer for Ontario, 2011) ![]() ![]()

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.

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 - © King's Printer for Ontario, 2011) ![]() ![]()
