Lake Erie , while the northern terminus reached Highway 86 east of Listowel. The highway's former extent coincided with Highway 7 between an intersection southeast of St. Mary's and Stratford. Today, the Port Burwell to Tillsonburg segment is mostly Elgin County Road 19, with a short segment in Norfolk County immediately south of Tillsonburg. The Ingersoll to Highway 7 segment is now Oxford County Road 119, while the segment north of Stratford is Perth County Road 119, then Perth County Road 131 through Milverton.References
