Is there a source for the proposed exits listed (north of Sandlewood of course)? Or are these interchanges just based on speculation? If there is a proper source, it should be posted at the botton of the page. Thanks --

Up to Hurontario - based on the official plans. After that, an old Orangeville plan indicated those exits, along with an interchange at Peel Road 24 (old Highway 24) (also can be seen on the Highway 10 page on www.onthighways.com) and the rest are speculation, but they are the major intersections. Also, There were old drawings planned by the previous Conservative government to extend to at least Highway 89, but that was never funded (source: Linda Jeffrey, MPP Brampton Centre).
I check pages listed in
Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for
orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of
Ontario Highway 410's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.

This article in general looks good; I have a few concerns that need to be addressed before the review can be passed:
It's a little confusing that the Route description runs south-to-north, while the Exit list runs north-to-south. Is there a way to get the two sections running in the same direction?
"From this point north to Bovaird Drive, the two highways were concurrent." Aren't they still concurrent?
"Ernie Eves" who is that? The name is thrown into the beginning of a paragraph with no explanation on who is this and why they are important.
It would be nice if the bare URLs in the citations could be cleaned up, either using citation templates or by hand.
GA review (see
here for what the criteria are, and
here for what they are not)
Thank you for the review! Regarding your first point, both flow from south to north (Highway 401 is at the southern end, and at the northern end is Highway 10) I've reworded the sentence for the second point, but essentially Highway 7 was made concurrent with the highway in the 1980s, but then decommissioned through Brampton in 1997 (although, for some reason the signs are still there on the freeway for both 7 and 410). The last point I still have to address; will respond again when I've dealt with it. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲτ¢ 18:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)reply
You are absolutely right on the first point; don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. Thanks for the prose improvements; I made one further copyedit. Let me know when the sources are cleaned up and I'll pass the review. –Grondemar 19:07, 18 February 2012 (UTC)reply
Alright, sources are all filled out. Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲτ¢ 03:33, 21 February 2012 (UTC)reply
Thanks for the cleanup, and sorry for taking a while getting back to this. I have now passed this good article nomination. Congratulations! –Grondemar 02:50, 25 February 2012 (UTC)reply
GTA West Corridor & Effects on Highway 410
In September 2019, the
GTA West Corridor EA put out
this PDF of preferred interchange locations, including an extension of Highway 410. Should I mention this now or should I wait until the EA is approved by the province before adding this as a new Future section? Username6892 13:26, 29 March 2020 (UTC)reply
