Special designation of concurrency with Highway 410

[edit]

Peel Regional Road 107 also marked the former end to Highway 410 until it was extended to Mayfield Road in 2007. Upon the intersection / exchange at Highway 410, the Peel Regional Route 107 seemed to disappear, and re-appear upon the interchange with Queen Street. This is because Peel Regional Road 107 marked the original route taken by Highway 7. Before downloading in 1997, Highway 7 had a concurrency with Highway 410 for 3.1 km. Provincial Highway 7 designation is still in effect west of the Peel Region / Halton Region boundary. The road (Bovaird Drive section west of Highway 410) is originally Highway 7, but after the downloading recently, the road is maintained by the Peel Region government. [citation needed]

Bovaird Drive east of Highway 410 is marked as Peel Regional Road 10 until Airport Road.
