  Highway 427 (Ontario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 427 is a 400-Series Highway in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada, that runs from immediately south of the Queen Elizabeth Way/Gardiner Expressway interchange (its exact southern terminus is on the Brown's Line at Coules Court, just south of Evans Avenue) in Toronto to Highway 7 in Vaughan.
Highway 427 is Ontario's second busiest freeway by volume, and has no fewer than 12 lanes between the QEW/Gardiner and Highway 401, divided into an collector-express system similar to that of Highway 401, replacing "service roads" in the 1970s.
Notable about Highway 427 are its several multi-level interchanges; the junctions with QEW and Highway 401 were Ontario's first 4-level interchanges constructed in the late 1960s and early 1970s while the interchanges with Highway 409 and Highway 407 are more recent and were completed in 1992 and 1995.
