Mohawk Road (Hamilton, Ontario)

The western segment begins as a continuation of Rousseaux Street in Ancaster just west of the interchange with Highway 403 and the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway (The Linc), and travels eastward to the interchange with the two freeways, defaulting into the latter.

The eastern segment begins as a continuation of Golf Links Road (which runs east from Meadowlands) at the same interchange near the Iroquoia Heights Conservation Area, and runs parallel with the Linc, cuts across the Hamilton mountain and ends at Mountain Brow Boulevard, the site of Mohawk Sports Park.

First Nation inhabitants in the area walked this path from upper New York State.

[1] The first area of Hamilton mountain to be settled was by the Pennsylvania Dutch Loyalists at present-day Mohawk Road, west of Upper James Street, which runs to the mountain brow between Queen Street and the Sanatorium.

[3] Despite this, the exits for Mohawk Road on both Highway 403 and the Linc are today signed as Rousseaux Street.
