The Queen Elizabeth Way and Highway 406 - Burlington to St. Catharines Ontario - 2020/07/12

[@zichenafrog]

Just did this drive 10 times in a weekend moving between these 2 cities!! I've done this drive my whole life, fantastic route

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

it's a nice stretch of highway -- though the traffic can kind of suck sometimes.

[@EdwardW98]

I've always wanted to drive through St. Catharines. I never knew the 406 was that scenic! Great video I really enjoyed this one

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

The 406 is a fun drive. Thanks for watching.

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

@@Dexeria probably something like that.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

406 is a spur route of QEW from St. Catharines to Welland.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

It's kilometer markers are inverse as well as 417.

[@EC4U2C_Studioz]

I enjoyed the 110 km/h signs.

If you are wondering what that would be for a New York state New Jersey Pennsylvania Driver 70 mph same speed limit as Interstate 476 Lehigh tunnel to mid-county Interchange via US-22 Exit 56 Lehigh Valley Interchange Easton Phillipsburg Harrisburg

One of my favorite Ontario highways! Also we're going to Niagara Falls next month!

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

have fun in Niagara Falls!

[@thevultrantransituniverse1487]

@@AsphaltPlanet1 Yeah. It's a fun place there. Also I have a video suggestion for you to do: How about do a video of the 407/115 from Markham to Peterborough?

[@JruGordon]

I love that view coming down the hill on highway 6, coming off of highway 5

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

me too. I think it's one of the best vistas in southern Ontario.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

The route is between two cities on each end while taking over the western tip and parallel to the south-southwestern shoreline of Lake Ontario heading east.

[@realdeal350]

Great drive, love Ontario highways

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

Thanks for watching.

Error in one of your screen comments during the video. The QƐШ was named for Queen Elizabeth the Queen mother yes but she was never a queen regnant. She was not Queen Elizabeth I, because as the wife of the king, King George she gets no number. Queen Elizabeth I was back during the days of Shakespeare.

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

I stand corrected. Thanks for the comment.

[@lastchretien]

Beck Taxi just before entering Saint Catharines. He’s come quite a distance!

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

Indeed he has. Thanks for watching.

[@JruGordon]

1:28 are you old enough to remember the Freeman Interchange before it was rebuilt to accommodate the 407? It was a traffic nightmare

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

I do remember that, although I was fairly young when it was replaced. The old Freeman interchange left a lot to be desired.

[@JruGordon]

My dad was a truck driver, and his company's yard was on Fiddler's Green Rd south of the 403, so anytime we went to the US, we used the 403 & QEW to Ft Erie. I'm 42, so I have alot of memories of what a nightmare that interchange used to be

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

@@JruGordon I bet. I'm in my 30s and live on the other side of the GTA, so my memories are much more limited.

[@JruGordon]

@@AsphaltPlanet1 my dad lived in Brantford. I even remember before the 403 was completed between Garden Ave and Wilson Ave, having to take Highways 2/53 to cover that gap

[@FreewayAndrewCAN]

I am looking to start filming road videos. Just curious what you use to film?

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

I use a Sony AX33 camcorder

[@hd365expytb2]

Nice video! But isn't the border closed?

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

the border is still closed.
