What a time capsule, you hardly see any big trucks on the road like today and the music in the background adds another dimension to this video, thanks.
From 1990- 93 I travelled the 403 from Winston churchill to cawthra rd every day. Worked at Ontario bus industries at Dundas and Dixie. Awesome times back then.....
At that time of the filming, the 407 corridor between the 403 and the Freeman Interchange was going to be an extension of Highway 403 that was reserved back in the 1960's. The Trafalgar Road connector as well as the first phase of the future 407 interchange were constructed between 1985 and 1989 but wasn't fully completed until 2001. In 1995, the Bob Rae government announced that the corridor for the 403 extension in Burlington and Oakville would be built as the western extension of the 407 due to budget constrains and wasn't completed until 2001.
Crazy old video, nice capture :) 1992 wow, my summer car was brand new that year, I was 1 year old, and my other car still had 8 years until it was built.
Before the concrete medians with the etr lanes were added around 2005 lol. I remember when it ended at Erin mills from picking my mom up from work at credit valley from Clarkson, I was just a kid lol
The 403 as of today is a complete bypass of 401. Before 1997 as officially becoming a complete bypass while merging QEW, 403 used to be a spur of QEW at first in the '60s. By the middle of the '70s, extension just began. In 1988, the extension to 401 was opened as a branch of 401 towards Hamilton. Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong because I researched that and mostly, I use Wikipedia for that research.
if my memory serves me correctly, the western leg of the 407 (between the QEW and 403) opened in 2001. The section between the 403 and the 401 opened in 1998
Oh, right, the old first leg of the 407. They let us use it for free for years. I used to use it as a shortcut to get to Sheridan College back then. :)
Thanks for uploading this. I go here a lot of times for the same darn reasons up to the point its so boring I wanna kill myself. I always daydream travelling here in another timeline and you save the day :)
@@ALuimes Just came across your video. You've taken me down memory lane. Great footage. What kind of camera did you use? I lived and worked in the Mississauga/Toronto area during the 60s and 70s. According to the numbers you've named the highways, things must have changed quite a bit since my time there. I remember what you call 407 to be 427. And what you call 403 to be the 401 in my time. I remember the 403 as a highway running north and south which started in Toronto's east end. In my time, you could connect with highway 403 heading north off the QEW. Then the 403 would take you to the 401. In the video, were you not driving on the 401 heading west to Mississauga? The 401 is the highway north of Toronto heading east and west. But the 403 runs north and south and will take you to places like New Market. Highway 400 also runs north and south which heads to Barrie. In my time, the 403 and Yonge Street ran parallel to each other. Both headed north. Have I got the numbers wrong? It's been a long time. :-)
@@sc0tte1-416 I once lived on The West Mall. During my time there, what is now 427 was simply 27. I recall all of them. Great place to live, but I imagine the population has increased quite a lot since my time. Now more cars, more traffic jams...
1992 , back when people did not get offended over everything , no SJW / woke people & adults and teenagers did not need a safe space to cry , teenagers & adults could face the facts!
I believe you , the reason why I expressed my opinion about 1992 is that I was nine years old when this home video was made , but I also remember it was not as bad as the world we live today !

Wow so much has changed. I was a child back in 1992, forgot how Hwy 403 used to be !
Mississauga sure changed A LOT since 1992.
I lived there since 1993 and it’s a totally different city by the time I left in 2020.
@@liamwatson5125 Kudos to Hazel McCallion who was mayor from 1978 - 2014. Mississauga is so massive now.
@@michaelchen3765 Thanks to Bonnie Greedyguts and mostly COVID-19, my life there is erased.
@@michaelchen3765 Not really because of Hazel though. Mississauga just got a head start because of all the handy highways.

I remember that short-lived 403 connector to Trafalgar Road. I remember being on it back in June of 1992.
I’m guessing it was demolished because of 407 construction?
@@frankgarrett242 The 407 assumed that particular stretch of road.
Love the music in this video!
I go through here all the time for errands so this was a treat for me
Awesome. Thanks for posting!
what is the song playing from 4:00 to 5:00 I cant seem to find it on google!

Godamm didnt know missisauga was golden back then this is the same route ive driven on since 2022...
Great stuff. I record video while I am driving all the time. Someday it will be cool to look at and see what things where like, just like this video.
Do you have an old video of Highway 400?
7:22 those white Tucana court buildings must have been built in the 80s?
Oh, right, the old first leg of the 407. They let us use it for free for years. I used to use it as a shortcut to get to Sheridan College back then. :)
I will hear here comes santa claus in christmas of 2021😌. But I dont know what is the real singer for this version that was in this car?😁
What part of Missasauga were you going to?
Nowhere. Just to take the video. I was a passenger.

This is soooo cool!!
Wow!
A two-lane road in the Mississauga area? One would have thought you were driving around Timmins in 2020 with this video!!!
Do you mean the road turning from Trafalgar? That was a temporary "ramp" which is now part of the 407.

@@jasonpelletier4037 You heard the ad at 0:50 - it was already well underway.
The sky line has changed but the highway hasnt changed much
The highway has changed quite a lot, actually. HOV: lighting, jersey barrier, 407 now built.
Did everybody just poop they butt in 1992?
Poopy old grandma pants
