King's Highway 410 -   www.OntHighways.com

Highway 410 is a relative newcomer to the 400-series highway network of Ontario.  The highway stretches from the Highway 401/403 interchange in northern Mississauga to Bovaird Drive in Brampton.

Highway 410 and Highway 7 Shield

Southern Terminus:  At Highway 401/410 mega interchange in northern Mississauga Northern Terminus:  At Bovaird Drive (formerly Highway 7 West).  Heart Lake Drive continues northerly on Highway 410's alignment. Length:  13.5 km Multiplexes:  Before downloading, there was a 3.1km multiplex with Highway 7 Freeway:  Entire Length.  (9 interchanges) AADT (2002):  Highest: 138,000, from Highway 401 northerly to Courtneypark Drive;                              Lowest:  98,000, from Williams Parkway northerly to Bovaird Drive. Road Info:  Highway 410 is a very busy highway, though seems to flow very at or above the posted speed limit of 100km/h at most times of the day.  Pavement conditions are excellent, and Highway 410 is 6 - 8 lanes for its entire length.  Due to the short length of the highway, exit numbers are not signed along the route.

History of Highway 410:

The highway first opened as a two-lane at-grade highway bypassing Highway 10 to the east in 1979.  During the mid 1980s the northern (more urban) portion of Highway 410 was completely grade separated; Access to and from Highway 410 to these newly grade separated roads was maintained through quasi interchanges that somewhat resemble the connector roads seen today on Highway 7 through central York Region.  In the late 1980s and early 1990s, extensive construction upgraded the full length of the route to a full freeway.  This work included the construction of the southern carriageway (two way traffic had previously been routed along only the northbound carriageway), and the construction of grade separations and interchanges on the southern portion of the highway.  Since that time, Highway 410 has become a very busy 6-8 lane freeway throughout its entire length.  Currently, work is underway to extend the 410 northerly from Bovaird Drive to meet Highway 10 at Valleywood, just to the north of Brampton.  The first phase of this three phase project included a new overpass to carry Sandlewood Parkway over the extended highway, as well as grading between Bovaird Drive and Sandlewood Parkway.  This phase was completed in 2004.  Construction was stalled for two years, but resumed in 2006 with construction starting on grading and advanced structures between Sandlewood and Mayfield Drive.  Work has yet to begin between Mayfield and Highway 10 (phase three), but should begin once some progress is made on phase two.
