King's Highway 400, commonly referred to as Highway{{nbsp}}400, historically as the Toronto–Barrie Highway, and colloquially as the{{nbsp}}400, is a 400-series highway in the Canadian province of Ontario linking the city of Toronto in the urban and agricultural south of the province with the scenic and sparsely populated central and northern regions. The portion of the highway between Toronto and Lake Simcoe roughly traces the route of the Toronto Carrying-Place Trail, a historic trail between the Lower and Upper Great Lakes. North of Highway 12, in combination with Highway 69, it forms a branch of the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH), the Georgian Bay Route, and is part of the highest-capacity route from southern Ontario to the Canadian West, via a connection with the mainline of the TCH in Sudbury. The highway also serves as the primary route from Toronto to southern Georgian Bay and Muskoka, areas collectively known as cottage country. The highway is patrolled by the Ontario Provincial Police and has a speed limit of {{convert|100|km/h|abbr=on}}, except for the section south of Highway{{nbsp}}401, where the speed limit is {{convert|80|km/h|abbr=on}} and the {{convert|60|km|abbr=on}} stretch between MacTier and Nobel, where the speed limit was raised to {{convert|110|kph|abbr=on}} on April 22, 2022.{{cite press release |first1 = Dakota |last1 = Brasier |first2 = Simisola |last2 = Ikotun |date = March 29, 2022 |url = https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1001886/ontario-raising-highway-speed-limits |title = Ontario Raising Highway Speed Limits |publisher = Ministry of Transportation of Ontario |access-date = July 13, 2024 }}

Although part of the Trans-Canada Highway only over the portion between Highway 69 and Highway 12, the full route of Highway 400 is part of the broader National Highway System.

It was the first fully controlled-access highway in Ontario when it was opened between North York and Barrie on July{{nbsp}}1, 1952. On that date, it was also the first highway to be designated as a 400-series. The freeway was extended in both directions; north of Barrie to Coldwater in 1958, and south of Highway{{nbsp}}401 to Jane Street in 1966; a short distance east of Jane Street the route continues as the municipal expressway Black Creek Drive which opened in 1982. Since the 1970s to the present there have been numerous projects which have widened and modernized the freeway between North York and Barrie, including being expanded with a collector-express system in Vaughan to accommodate the interchange with the new Highway{{nbsp}}407 ETR.

Highway{{nbsp}}400 is the second longest freeway in the province, the trans-provincial Highway 401 being the longest. Since 1977, construction on the freeway has been snaking north along Highway{{nbsp}}69 towards Parry Sound and Sudbury. As of 2011, a four lane freeway is opened as far north as Carling; at that point, the four lanes narrow into two and continue northerly to Sudbury as Highway{{nbsp}}69. At the north end of Highway{{nbsp}}69, a segment of freeway is in operation from near Highway 522 south of the French River to Sudbury; while this section will be part of the completed Highway{{nbsp}}400 route, at present it remains signed as Highway{{nbsp}}69. The remaining gap between Carling and Highway 522 will be opened in stages as construction is undertaken and completed.{{Cite news|url= http://www.thesudburystar.com/2015/03/06/highway-69-to-be-delayed-province-admits |last= Carmichael|first= Harold|title= Highway 69 to be delayed, province admits|newspaper= Sudbury Star|date= March 7, 2015|access-date= August 7, 2016}}

Highway{{nbsp}}400 begins at the Maple Leaf Drive overpass in Toronto, south of Highway{{nbsp}}401. South of that, the route continues as the municipal Black Creek Drive, an arterial road or limited controlled-access expressway with at-grade intersections, originally planned as a southern extension of Highway 400. Alongside the expansion of Highway{{nbsp}}401, Highway{{nbsp}}400 had been completed to Jane Street in 1966, but a proposed southern extension to the Gardiner Expressway faced opposition that also caused the truncation of Allen Road, so it was instead built as the scaled-back Black Creek Drive which opened in 1982. South of Highway{{nbsp}}401, all on-ramps to the southbound lanes of Highway{{nbsp}}400 are signed as Black Creek Drive (without reference to Highway{{nbsp}}400) even though Black Creek Drive does not start until Maple Leaf Drive.

North of Maple Leaf Drive, the highway shifts northwestward as it meets Jane Street at a five-ramp parclo interchange, with the Black Creek river snaking under the highway and on/off ramps. The segment between Maple Drive and Jane Street, including the bridges crossing Black Creek and the ramps to/from Jane Street, were built during the Black Creek Drive project although it is under provincial jurisdiction.{{Cite web | title=Ontario Highway 400 Photographs - Page 5 - History of Ontario's Kings Highways | url=https://www.thekingshighway.ca/PHOTOS/Hwy400photos5.htm | access-date=2025-04-27 | website=www.thekingshighway.ca}} The highway then turns approximately northward as it approaches the interchange with Highway{{nbsp}}401, and although only two lanes per direction pass though that junction, the on-ramps from Highway{{nbsp}}401 become additional lanes for the highway's northbound carriageway widening the cross-section to twelve lanes. The opposite occurs on the southbound carriageway of the highway where four lanes default to off-ramps for Highway{{nbsp}}401 eastbound and westbound, while the rightmost lanes continue the highway through that junction (signed as Black Creek Dr. and Jane St.). The on-ramp from Highway{{nbsp}}401 eastbound to Highway{{nbsp}}400 northbound has rumble strips to encourage drivers to adhere to the recommended speed limit of 50 km/h.

The highway continues north, losing two lanes at the Parclo A4 interchange with Finch Avenue.{{Google maps

From Highway{{nbsp}}401 to the Holland Marsh the freeway largely parallels the arterial/concession roads Weston Road and Jane Street, passing over the height of land at the Oak Ridges Moraine. The highway passes through protected rural areas in northern York Region and encounters rolling countryside in Simcoe County south of Barrie. Between Major Mackenzie Drive and King Road, Highway 400 features HOV lanes which have acceleration/deceleration lanes at entry/exit points.{{cite web |last1=Robertson |first1=Becky |title=A Toronto Highway is Completely Changing Up Rules for its new HOV Lanes |url=https://www.blogto.com/city/2021/10/toronto-highway-rules-new-hov-lanes/ |website=BlogTO |access-date=6 February 2022}} Near the King City On-Route located between Kirby Road and King-Vaughan Road, Highway 400 will meet an under-construction Highway 413.{{cite web|title=Ontario Building Highway 413|url=https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1004508/ontario-building-highway-413|website=news.ontario.ca|date=April 30, 2024|access-date=August 28, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.highway413.ca/#:~:text=Economic%20Benefits,-Building%20infrastructure%20is&text=Highway%20413%20alone%20is%20expected,and%20sustaining%20good%20local%20jobs.|website=highway413.ca|access-date=August 28, 2024 |title=Highway 413 }} Just a bit north of the Simcoe Road{{nbsp}}88 exit, Highway{{nbsp}}400 will meet the future Bradford Bypass.

History

= Initial construction =

Highway{{nbsp}}400, along with Highway{{nbsp}}401 and Highway{{nbsp}}402, was one of the first modern freeways in Ontario. Planning for the Toronto–Barrie Highway, which would become Highway{{nbsp}}400, began in 1944. The two routes connecting Barrie with Toronto at the time, Highway 11 and Highway 27, were becoming congested. Grading on a new alignment between Weston Road and Jane Street was completed from Wilson Avenue to Highway{{nbsp}}27 (Essa Road) by 1947.{{sfn|Shragge|Bagnato|1984|pp=89–92}} The onset of the Korean War slowed construction on the highway considerably,{{cite web

and it was not until December{{nbsp}}1, 1951 that two lanes (one in each direction) would be opened to traffic. All four lanes were opened to traffic on July{{nbsp}}1, 1952, at which point the highway was designated Highway 400.{{sfn|Shragge|Bagnato|1984|pp=89}} The name was the scorn of one newspaper editor, who published his distaste for using numbers to name a highway.{{cite news

As a precursor to the widening of Highway{{nbsp}}400, the cloverleaf interchange with Highway{{nbsp}}7 was reconfigured to a partial cloverleaf in 1987–88. The northbound lanes of Highway{{nbsp}}400 were shifted to a temporary diversion between Steeles Avenue and Highway{{nbsp}}7 in order to facilitate construction of the four-level interchange with Highway{{nbsp}}407, with the precast concrete post-tensioned bridges completed in 1990. Only the third level flyovers were immediately opened to serve Highway{{nbsp}}400 traffic, with the rest of the junction closed off for the next few years as work on Highway{{nbsp}}407 progressed.{{cite web | url=https://www.botconstruction.ca/about-us/history/ | title=History – Bot Construction Group }}

North of Highway 12, Highway 400 transitioned into the two-lane Highway 69. Several structures were constructed over the next few years in preparation for twinning Highway 69. In 1988 construction began on the southbound structures over Matchedash Bay and the Canadian National Railway crossing north of Highway 12. Both were complete by the end of 1990. During 1991, construction began on the interchanges at Quarry Road and Port Severn Road, new service roads between those interchanges and the southbound structure over the Trent–Severn Waterway.{{cite report

As one of the oldest 400-series freeways, several vintage overpasses have been demolished in recent years to accommodate the future widening of Highway 400 to ten lanes in the section from Vaughan to Barrie. Sixteen of these historic structures, sub-standard by today's freeway requirements, remained as of summer 2009, with all slated for replacement in the near future. In order to preserve some of this heritage the Ministry of Transportation created an 1800mm x 1625mm reusable urethane mould of the provincial coat-of-arms from the 5th Line overpass located south of Bradford, which will be used to decorate the replacement structures.{{cite journal

}}{{Dead link|date=August 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} The centres were originally leased to and operated by several major gasoline distributors; however, those companies chose not to renew their leases after they expired. In response, the MTO put the operation of the full network of service centres out for tender, resulting in a 50-year lease with Host Kilmer Service Centres, a joint venture between hospitality company HMSHost (a subsidiary of Autogrill) and Larry Tanenbaum's investment company Kilmer van Nostrand, which operates them under the ONroute brand.{{cite news

Three of the four service centres were upgraded and feature a Canadian Tire gas station, an HMSHost-operated convenience store known as "The Market", as well as fast food brands such as Tim Hortons, A&W and Burger King. The southbound Vaughan service centre, which had been redeveloped in the late 1990s, was not included in these plans.{{cite news

}} As of April 21, 2025, the southbound travel centre was permanently closed.{{cn|date=April 2025}} The Barrie centre closed for reconstruction on October 19, 2010. The King City service centre relocated a few hundred meters south in October 2012. The Cookstown centre was located at the Highway 89 interchange being incorporated into the southbound ramp (while accessible to northbound traffic by exiting on westbound Highway 89 then turning at a driveway on the west side of the 400) and it closed on February 1, 2013, while its replacement was shifted to a new site north of Fourth Line while being rebranded as Innisfil ONRoute and it reopened in June 2015. Service centres are located at the following points along Highway 400:
