Left - Approaching the flyover from eastbound Hwy 401 to northbound Hwy 410. This massive structure is the GTA's longest freeway flyover, with a length of more than a half-kilometre. It was opened to traffic in late 1990, after two years of construction. Before this flyover opened, it was not possible to access Hwy 410 from eastbound Hwy 401. During the same construction project, a second flyover was built from southbound Hwy 410 to eastbound Hwy 401, which can be seen in the background. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - The southbound Hwy 410 exit to Hwy 401 branches into two individual ramps within the interchange. Before the Hwy 410 flyovers were completed and opened to traffic in 1990, it was not possible to access westbound Hwy 401 from Hwy 410. A small loop ramp on the south side of the interchange provided access to eastbound Hwy 401 until 1990. However, this loop ramp was closed off and abandoned as part of the Hwy 401 and Hwy 410 Interchange reconstruction. In 1991, the closed Hwy 410 loop ramp was removed during another construction project to link Hwy 403 and Hwy 410 together. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Facing east along Hwy 401 from the southbound flyover from Hwy 410. The flyovers at the adjacent Hwy 403 Interchange can be seen in the background. Although the Hwy 403 and Hwy 410 Interchanges were built immediately adjacent to each other during the 1970s, there were no ramps directly linking Hwy 403 and Hwy 410 together until the early 1990s. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - The completion of the Hwy 401 Express Lanes between Hwy 403 and Hwy 410 in 1993 was the last stage in the reconstruction of Hwy 401 through the eastern half of Mississauga. This massive highway widening project took nearly 20 years to complete and saw Hwy 401 expanded from 4 lanes to as many as 18 lanes in places. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Facing east along the eastbound Hwy 401 Collector Lanes from the Hwy 410 Underpass. Note the curved outer parapet wall, which was designed back in the 1970s to accommodate a future loop ramp from eastbound (northbound) Hwy 403 to westbound Hwy 401. Although this loop ramp was not constructed for many years, it is scheduled to be opened to traffic in late 2018. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - View of Hwy 410 from the westbound Hwy 401 Collector Lanes. Even the heavy truck traffic on Hwy 410 is dwarfed by the massive flyover from eastbound Hwy 401 to northbound Hwy 410. This outstanding 11-span post-tensioned bridge took more than two years to construct. It was finally completed and opened to traffic in late 1990. At a total length of 555 metres (1,821 feet) it is the GTA's longest freeway flyover on a 400-series highway. See an Enlarged Photo Here.
(Photograph taken on June 28, 2014 - © Cameron Bevers)

Left - Facing north along the northbound lanes of Hwy 410 from Hwy 401, prior to widening. Hwy 410 was originally built in the late 1970s as a two-lane undivided highway with at-grade signalized intersections. The highway was twinned and widened to a minimum of six lanes (three through lanes per direction) in the late 1980s. A major reconstruction project commenced on Hwy 410 in 2014. The highway was expanded to a minimum of ten lanes from the Hwy 401 Interchange to Brampton, including a High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Carpool Lane in each direction. The northbound lanes of Hwy 410 were also rebuilt with a short Express-Collector Lane System between Hwy 401 and Courtneypark Drive, in order to facilitate traffic operations between these two busy interchanges. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - Approaching the Courtneypark Drive exit ramp on northbound Hwy 410. As originally constructed in 1989, the Courtneypark Drive exit had a "Parclo B" configuration loop ramp exit on the north side of the structure. As part of the reconstruction of Hwy 410, the ramp was relocated to the southern side of the structure in 2016. See an Enlarged Photo Here.
(Photograph taken on November 11, 2010 - © Cameron Bevers)

Left - Southern side of the Courtneypark Drive Overpass on Hwy 410 in Mississauga. This structure was completed in 1989 and carries the eastbound lanes of Courtneypark Drive. The original structure, which now carries the westbound lanes of Courtneypark Drive, was completed in 1980. See an Enlarged Photo Here.
(Photograph taken on November 11, 2010 - © Cameron Bevers)

Right - The Courtneypark Drive Overpass was constructed in two stages, starting with an initial construction contract called in 1979. When this section of Hwy 410 first opened to traffic in 1978, Industrial Access Road (today's Courtneypark Drive) met Hwy 410 at an at-grade signalized intersection. The current westbound structure in the background was completed in 1980 as a two-lane arterial road, which can be seen in this Historic 1983 Photo. When this new grade separation was opened to traffic, access between Hwy 410 and Courtneypark Drive was severed. In 1989, the original two-lane Courtneypark Drive Bridge was twinned to allow for four lanes of traffic on Courtneypark Drive across Hwy 410. A partial two-ramp interchange was built at Courtneypark Drive in 1989-1990. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - Facing east along Courtneypark Drive towards the Hwy 410 Interchange. The unsignalized entrance ramp to southbound Hwy 410 can be seen at left. When the Industrial Access Road (Courtneypark Drive) Overpass was first opened to traffic in 1980, there were no access ramps to or from Hwy 410. The two Hwy 410 ramps at Courtneypark Drive were both built as a retrofit during the bridge twinning contract in 1989-1990. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Derry Road Overpass on Hwy 410 in Mississauga. The two core spans were constructed in 1987 as part of the interchange construction on Hwy 410, while the two outer spans were constructed later to accommodate the construction of the adjacent Hwy 407 ETR Interchange in 1995. Prior to the completion of the Derry Road Interchange in 1988, Hwy 410 met Derry Road at an at-grade signalized intersection. The completion of the Derry Road Interchange and the nearby Steeles Avenue Interchange in 1988 removed the last sets of traffic signals from the route of Hwy 410 between Hwy 401 and Brampton. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - Facing south along Hwy 410 from the Derry Road Interchange in Mississauga, prior to widening. During reconstruction of Hwy 410, two additional traffic lanes were added to the highway in each direction. One of the new lanes is for general purpose traffic, while the other lane is reserved for transit vehicles and High-Occupancy Vehicles carrying at least two passengers. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - Approaching the Hwy 407 ETR exit on northbound Hwy 410, prior to widening. Three through lanes continue north towards Brampton via Hwy 410, while Lane 4 is a force-off exit lane to Hwy 407 ETR. An "either-or" lane is also provided at this exit in order to maintain lane balance. After the reconstruction of Hwy 410 is completed, four through lanes will continue north along Hwy 410 towards Brampton, along with the new HOV Lane. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Overhead guide signs at the Hwy 407 ETR exit on northbound Hwy 410. Note the patch over the Hwy 407 ETR sign at right, which used to indicate that the highway ramp went east only. For a period of time in the late 1990s, Hwy 407 ETR ended at Hwy 410. As a result, traffic from northbound Hwy 410 could only go eastbound towards Vaughan on Hwy 407 ETR. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - View of the Hwy 407 ETR Interchange on Hwy 410, facing north towards Brampton. This major freeway-to-freeway junction was constructed in the mid-1990s as a three-level interchange, with two high-level flyovers serving the East-to-South and West-to-North ramp movements. Two of the ramps (South-to-West and North-to-East) are inner-loop ramps. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - View underneath the northbound Hwy 410 structure over Etobicoke Creek. When the northbound Etobicoke Creek Bridge was first designed in the 1970s, it was intended to carry an undivided two-lane Hwy 410, with one lane provided for traffic in each direction. At the time, it was anticipated that a twin two-lane structure would be built to carry the southbound lanes of Hwy 410 in the near future. However, by the time construction got underway on the twin southbound structure in the late 1980s, traffic demand necessitated the construction of a six-lane freeway. A new southbound Etobicoke Creek structure was built in 1988 to accommodate three southbound lanes on Hwy 410. The original two-lane 1977 structure was widened by one lane in 1988 and then converted to carry northbound Hwy 410 traffic only. The distinct pier of the original two-lane Hwy 410 structure can be seen here at right. The 1988 expansion structure can be seen at centre-left. During construction of the Hwy 407 ETR Interchange in the mid-1990s, the northbound Hwy 410 structure at Etobicoke Creek was widened yet again in order to accommodate the relocated Derry Road on-ramp (far left). See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Facing north along the southbound lanes of Hwy 410 from the Steeles Avenue Overpass in Brampton. Although Hwy 410 briefly widens to an eight-lane cross section between Clark Boulevard and Steeles Avenue, Lane 4 on southbound Hwy 410 forces off to Steeles Avenue and the six-lane cross section resumes from this point south through the Hwy 407 ETR Interchange. Two additional lanes were added in each direction along Hwy 410 through the Steeles Avenue Interchange during a major reconstruction project, which began shortly after this photo was taken in 2014.

Right - Facing north along Heart Lake Road (Old Hwy 410) at Glidden Road in Brampton. The section of Heart Lake Road from Steeles Avenue northerly to Hwy 7 East (Queen Street) temporarily served as the route for Hwy 410 from 1976-1977 up until the completion of the northbound lanes of the freeway in late 1985. These short bypassed sections of Heart Lake Road near Glidden Road and nearby Orenda Road provide transportation enthusiasts with the only opportunity to see what the original two-lane Hwy 410 actually looked like, since the balance of Heart Lake Road between Queen Street and Bovaird Drive was obliterated during construction of the freeway in the 1980s. See an Enlarged Photo Here.
(Photograph taken on June 28, 2014 - © Cameron Bevers)

Left - Facing south along Heart Lake Road (Old Hwy 410) from Glidden Road in Brampton. Up until the mid-1980s, all traffic on Hwy 410 had to use this section of Heart Lake Road while the freeway at left was under construction. Traffic was shifted from Heart Lake Road onto the newly-completed northbound lanes of Hwy 410 in late 1985. The four northbound lanes of Hwy 410 were temporarily configured to allow for two lanes northbound and two lanes southbound. The southbound side of the freeway was completed in a subsequent construction stage. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - Facing south along Heart Lake Road (Old Hwy 410) at Orenda Road in Brampton. Once the northbound lanes of Hwy 410 were opened to two-way traffic in 1985, Heart Lake Road became redundant and was closed to through traffic at Orenda Road. Jurisdiction over the former route of Hwy 410 via Heart Lake Road was transferred from the Ministry of Transportation to the City of Brampton in 1990. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Facing north along Hwy 410 from the Clark Boulevard Overpass in Brampton. Note the change in median width approaching the Hwy 7 East (Queen Street) Interchange. Early transportation planning done for Hwy 410 suggested that travel demand would ease off on Hwy 410 north of the Hwy 7 East Interchange. Accordingly, the corridor north of this point to Hwy 7 West (Bovaird Drive) was only designed to accommodate an ultimate eight-lane cross section. South of Queen Street, the Hwy 410 corridor was designed to accommodate a minimum of five lanes per direction (10 lanes total). See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - On-ramp from Clark Boulevard to southbound Hwy 410. Note how close this interchange is to Hwy 7 East (Queen Street). A concrete separator was built to ensure that traffic merging into southbound Hwy 410 from the Clark Boulevard on-ramp would not conflict with the on-ramp traffic from Queen Street.

Left - Facing south along Hwy 410 from the Hwy 7 East (Queen Street) Overpass in Brampton. The construction of Hwy 410 through Brampton took several years to complete. The northbound lanes of Hwy 410 in the vicinity of the Hwy 7 East (Queen Street) Overpass were constructed first in 1984, and were opened to two-way traffic in late 1985. A contract was called in early 1988 to construct the southbound lanes of Hwy 410 through the interchange along with the western side of the Hwy 7 East (Queen Street) Interchange. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - Southern side of the Hwy 7 East (Queen Street) Overpass on Hwy 410 in Brampton. This two-span post-tensioned concrete structure was completed in 1984. Originally, Hwy 7 intersected with Heart Lake Road (Hwy 410) at an at-grade signalized intersection immediately west of the current structure. Construction of a full "Parclo A-4" interchange at Hwy 7 East and Hwy 410 began in 1984, but due to construction staging on the freeway, the interchange at Hwy 7 East was not fully operational until 1988. The northbound lanes of Hwy 410 were opened to two-way traffic in 1985, along with a temporary connector road which linked Hwy 7 and Hwy 410 together in the southeast quadrant of the interchange. This connector road allowed all-moves access between the two highways and was signalized at each end. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Above - Overhead guide sign on southbound Hwy 410 at the Queen Street Interchange. Up until the late 1990s, Hwy 7 exited from the freeway here and followed Queen Street easterly towards Woodbridge. Jusrisdiction over the section of Hwy 7 between Hwy 410 and the Hwy 50 Junction at Sunset Corners was transferred to the Regional Municipality of Peel in 1997. Since that time Hwy 7 East has been officially known as Peel Road 107. However, the old name "Hwy 7" still sees a fair amount of use even today. The route of Hwy 7 was once overlapped with Hwy 410 between the Queen Street and Bovaird Drive Interchanges. See an Enlarged Photo Here.
