City of Sarnia

County of Lambton

Looking east towards the Highway 40 interchange.  This portion of Highway 7 was at one point part of Highway 402.  When Highway 402 was realigned to the north in the 1970s, this interchange was reconfigured to support free-flow movements on Highway 40 rather then Highway 7.

Highway 7 looking west from just east of Waterworks Road.  Before the Highway 402 was constructed to bypass Highway 7, Highway 7 was the main thoroughfare connecting Sarnia and the Bluewater Bridge to the rest of South Central Ontario.  Because of the highway's former importance, it was built to the highest design standards (of its day), and still has a very major feel to this day, even after being bypassed for over 30 years.

Old meets new.  This picture shows an original 1930s banked curve that was later bypassed with a much more gentle curvature.  This picture was taken just to the east of Forest Road (Old Highway 21 North) and it looks west.

Township of Warwick

County of Lambton

The last remaining reference to Highway 7 in Lambton County.  Lambton renamed much of Highway 7 to Lambton Road 22.  This renumbering is actually quite logical, and is derived from Highway 22 (also decommissioned) which ran on the same alignment as much of Highway 7 through Lambton.  The County Road 22 designation now allows for a continuous route and number from Sarnia to northern London.

Highway 7 looking east in the community of Warwick.  This Concrete Bowstring bridge has been lovingly reconstructed by Lambton County.  While the bridge rehabilitation did not restore the structure exactly to its 1930 specifications, it did include some historical modifications including embossed railings.  Many of these Bowstring bridges are reaching the end of there life-spans at present, and unfortunately many are being replaced with more modern styled structures.

Highway 7 at the northern junction of Highway 79 just south of Thedford.  (Before being downloaded of course) to stay on Highway 7 you must turn left at Highway 79. Highway 7 ran concurrently with Highway 79 for about 20 km until Highway 79 turned south towards Watford.  A Right turn at the pictured junction would lead drivers through Thedford, ultimately to Highway 21 at Port Franks

Lambton - Middlesex Boundary

This photo is looking east over the Ausable River Bridge which is located on the Middlesex-Lambton county line.  In the distance you can see that Middlesex is resurfacing Highway 7 just to the east of the bridge.  Middlesex has been very quick to resurface downloaded highways that lie in there jurisdiction.  The County of Middlesex maintains an its County Road system to an excellent standard.

Lucan Biddulph - Middlesex Centre Boundary

County of Middlesex

A Highway 7 shield cosigned with an older-style Highway 23 trailblazer.  Highway 23 meets Highway 7 about a kilometre east of Elginfield (where Highway 7 meets Highway 4).  A fair amount of traffic on Highway 4 is destined to Highway 23 via Highway 7, as such, the route to Highway 23 is very well indicated in and around Elginfield.
     
Lucan Biddulph - Middlesex Centre Boundary

County of Middlesex

This photo is looking west down the hill towards Elginfield.  The first intersection in the foreground of the image is that of Highway 23.  Highway 23's southern terminus is at Highway 7, northwards along Highway 23 traffic encounters such towns as Mitchell and Listowel.  In the distance the junction with Highway 4 can be seen (which is shown in more detail in the picture above).
