The road south of Bolton has become more suburban as development has encroached from the east and west; but despite this increased urbanization, the removal of highway status, and the fact that it runs through the former Albion Township, the Albion Road name has not been extended to follow it outside Toronto.
As far as Steeles Avenue, it was maintained as a connecting link with Metropolitan Toronto, bearing little resemblance to the rural highway north of the city.
At Steeles, the road curves north and serves as the boundary between Brampton to the west and Vaughan to the east, in the regions of Peel and York, respectively, following an alignment that divides the concession road grids of both regional municipalities but follows neither.
North of the former Highway 7 (named Queen Street on the Brampton side), the road passes to the east of the former hamlet of Ebenezer and then west of the Canadian Pacific Railway Vaughan Intermodal Facility, a large rail yard.
[4] North of Bolton, the road enters a rural stretch, where it divides two golf courses and provides access to Albion Hills Conservation Area.
On that day, the section between Steeles Avenue and Highway 7 was transferred to the joint jurisdiction of the Regional Municipalities of York and Peel, and the connecting link agreement with the Town of Caledon through downtown Bolton repealed.
