King's Highway 7

To make a long story short, Hwy 7 runs from Hwy 4 north of London to Hwy 417 in Ottawa, with gaps in Kitchener, and between Brampton and Markham, resulting from several downloads made between 1997 and 2001. Hwy 7 is a freeway from New Hamburg into Kitchener, and on the Peterborough Bypass. Hwy 7 is also part of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Hwy 12.
