Highway 7 looking east from Ridge Road, which is
located roughly 1km east of Highway 12 in Brock Township.
Notice the old alignment of Highway 7 visible to the left of the current

Highway 7 just west of Manilla looking East.
This picture showcases both the original and current west entrances of
Manilla. The original highway 7 would have continued straight through
the gully and had a much steeper hill then the current highway. Atop
the hill the old highway (now known as Brock Street) veered northeast at
Edward Street. Old Highway 7 would have met the current highway at
Simcoe Street, at what was likely a very dangerous intersection. Picture taken: October 9th, 2004. Size: 35kb. |

Looking southerly along Highway 7 towards the
Peterborough Road 15 junction. Highway 7 followed Peterborough Road 15
easterly into Peterborough before 1998. From 1998 to 2003, this
intersection actually represented the eastern end of the central portion of
Highway 7. Since 2003, Highway 7 simply continues southerly directly
to Highway 115 from this junction. Picture taken: May 24th, 2006. Size: 50kb. |

January 1st, 1998 saw Highway 7 downloaded
between the Highway 7A junction at Scott's Corners and the Highway
28/115
interchange. This lone formerly 7 sign is the last
reference to the now defunct section of Highway 7 southwest of Peterborough.
The old alignment now has two names, outside of the City of Peterborough it
is known as Peterborough County Road 15, while inside the city limits the
route is known as Sir Sandford Fleming Drive. Picture size: 85kb. |

Highway 7 looking south towards Springville and
Highway 115 from just south of the Peterborough
Road 15 intersection. Before 2003,
this section of Highway 7 was part of Highway 7A. It was re-designated
as Highway 7 to connect the former central and eastern segments of Highway 7
and improve the logic of the Highway 7 designation in the Peterborough area. Picture taken: June 3rd, 2004. Size: 110kb. |

This picture shows Highway 7/115 looking south/west bound from the Airport Road overpass.
