Route Description

Many sections of the Queen Elizabeth Way have been reconstructed in recent years. Shown here is a rail overpass just west of Highway 405 in 2005 and 2009, respectively.

The QEW is a 139-kilometre (86 mi) route that travels from the Peace Bridge, connecting Fort Erie with Buffalo, New York, to Toronto, the economic hub of the province. The freeway circles the western lakehead of Lake Ontario, cutting through Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville and Mississauga en route. A 22 km (14 mi) portion of the freeway is signed concurrently with Highway 403.
