QEW
The Queen Elizabeth Way connects Toronto to Niagara via Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, and Hamilton.
★ Typical worst times
Toronto-bound 6–9am weekdays into the city, Niagara-bound 3–7pm weekdays out. Summer weekends are heavy in both directions.
★ Detour summary
Lakeshore Road parallels the QEW through Mississauga and Burlington but cannot absorb highway volume. Highway 403 is the practical alternate west of Burlington.
