Highway 7 is now five lanes of traffic just before Peterborough. Its going to be high speed rail or a divided multi lane highway in the future through that highway 7 corridor. Honestly rail would be so much nicer than continuing to drive the 401 into Toronto.

Yeah, that stretch of the 7 is quite pretty. Was fascinated with, and distracted by, all the beaver dams and ponds along that stretch.

The divided highway down from Peterborough is also absolutely awful.

But on a slow day, Highway 7 from Havelock to Carleton Place can be quite lovely. For a highway.
