  Highway 403 (Ontario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 403 is also notable because it was discontinuous for much of its history, at one point having two and three separate sections.
The eastern section of Highway 403, which cut through Mississauga and stretched from the QEW in Oakville to Highway 401, was completed in 1982.
Nonetheless, the right-of-way intended for the complete Highway 403 remained vacant for a decade, until it was used instead for the Highway 407 extension to Burlington.
