Black Creek Drive is an expressway or arterial road[2] in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A four-lane route that runs north–south, it connects Weston Road and Humber Boulevard with Highway 401 via Highway 400, the latter of which it forms a southerly extension. Black Creek Drive officially transitions into Highway400 at the Maple Leaf Drive overpass, southeast of the Jane Street interchange. The roadway is named after the Black Creek ravine, which it parallels for most of its route. It features a maximum speed limit of 70 km/h (43 mph). As part of the municipal system of expressways, it is patrolled by the Toronto Police Service.
Following the path of a proposed freeway extension of Highway400, it was built instead as an arterial road with at-grade intersections by the provincial government. While Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario sought to extend Highway400 south to the Gardiner Expressway, public opposition to building freeways into central Toronto resulted in the road being constructed only as far south to Weston Road as a limited controlled-access expressway with at-grade intersections.
