King's Highway403 (pronounced "four-oh-three"), or simply Highway403, is a 400-series highway in the Canadian province of Ontario that travels between Woodstock and Mississauga, branching off from and reuniting with Highway 401 at both ends and travelling south of it through Hamilton (where it is also known as the Chedoke Expressway) and Mississauga. It is concurrent with the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) for from Burlington to Oakville. The Highway403 designation was first applied in 1963 to a short stub of freeway branching off the QEW, and the entire route was completed on August15, 1997, when the section from Brantford to the then-still independent Town of Ancaster was opened to traffic. The section of Highway403 between Woodstock and Burlington was formally dedicated as the Alexander Graham Bell Parkway on April27, 2016, in honour of Alexander Graham Bell. The majority of Highway403 is surrounded by suburban land use, except west of Hamilton, where it passes through agricultural land; Brantford is the only urban area through this section. In Hamilton, Highway403 descends the Niagara Escarpment, then wraps around the northern side of Hamilton Harbour to encounter the QEW. From there, co-signed with the QEW, it travels straight through Burlington and Oakville, departing from the QEW to the north at the Mississauga–Oakville boundary. The freeway then crosses through the centre of Mississauga in an east–west direction, serving its city centre. Turning north, Highway403 splits up into a collector-express system, with the express lanes defaulting to Highway401 east of that interchange, while the collector lanes thereafter continues north as Highway 410 to Brampton. Route description Woodstock to Burlington Highway403 begins at a junction with Highway401 on the outskirts of Woodstock. The eastbound lanes split from eastbound Highway401, whereas the westbound lanes merge into westbound Highway401. It travels along the back lot lines of the second concession south of former Highway2. This first section of the highway is also the least travelled portion, with approximately 20,900vehicles using it on an average day in 2016. The highway passes beneath Oxford County Road 55 (formerly Highway53) and curves southeast. After crossing into the third concession, it curves back to the east. The highway travels straight for several kilometres, meeting with the southern leg of Highway 24, which travels south to Simcoe. The highway crosses the Grand River to the south of Paris, then passes over former Highway2 as it enters Brantford. As it passes through Brantford, the highway angles
