to budgetary constraints. It was also announced the Mississauga section of Highway403 would be renumbered as Highway410, although this was not done. Instead, Highway403 was signed concurrently along the Queen Elizabeth Way in 2002, remedying the discontinuity. On September 4, 1998, Highway407 opened between Highway401 and Highway403, and by the middle of 2001 access was added to the Burlington–Oakville segment of Highway407 previously intended to be part of Highway403. In early 2001, high-mast lighting added to the unlighted Mississauga section between Highway407 and Eastgate Parkway. The lighting masts are placed between the westbound carriageway and hydro corridor, rather than in the median like most other provincial freeways. In 2003, the right shoulders between Erin Mills Parkway and Mavis Road were widened for GO Transit and Mississauga Transit to run express bus service. These projects preceded the widening of Highway403 between Highway407 and Highway401/410, through which a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane was added in each direction; the project started in summer of 2004 and was completed and opened on December13, 2005. The HOV lanes and the dividing Ontario Tall Wall concrete barrier were constructed using the existing right-of-way provided by the grass median. Metrolinx began construction of the Mississauga Transitway West between Winston Churchill Boulevard and Erin Mills Parkway in October 2013, including realignment of hydro towers and new bus-only lanes crossing the existing ramps on the north side of Highway403's interchange with Winston Churchill Boulevard, which was completed on December 31, 2016. Land was reserved at the Highway401/403/410 junction for a loop ramp from Highway403 eastbound to Highway401 westbound, and a directional ramp for the opposite movement, however as a prerequisite Highway401 first had to be widened west of this interchange. The existing underpasses for the Highway403 to Highway410 link have sufficient right-of-way to accommodate the addition of a new HOV lane to the Highway403 eastbound collectors that would tie into the expanded Highway410, as well as the approach to the loop ramp to Highway401 westbound. Construction commenced on these ramps by 2017. The construction was completed in November 2018, allowing for full access in all directions between both freeways. Highway403 between Woodstock and Burlington was formally dedicated as the Alexander Graham Bell Parkway on April27, 2016. Improvements were made to the bottlenecked Highway 403/QEW/Ford Drive interchange in Oakville. Since 2017, traffic using the existing loop ramp in the NE corner to access Highway 403/QEW was directed onto a new
