Route description

Dougall Parkway is a short 1.6 km controlled-access highway that begins after connecting ramps split off of Highway 401. From the split, the expressway travels in a west-northwest direction having interchanges with 6th Concession Road and Howard Avenue. It is at the intersection when the expressway passes under Howard Avenue where it transitions into Dougall Avenue.

History

Dougall Parkway was constructed as one of the two western forks of Highway 401 in the mid-1950s, connecting Highway 401 with Highway 3B (Howard Avenue). Somewhat confusingly, Dougall Parkway was officially numbered as Highway 401 along with the other leg of the fork, with Dougall Parkway being the north leg. In 2008 to 2010, as part of the reconstruction of the section of Highway 401 from Dougall Parkway to Provincial Road, the Dougall Parkway split with Highway 401 was reconfigured, replacing a one-lane 1950s-era underpass tunnel with a modern high-speed flyover ramp.
