Highway 409 is an Ontario provincial 400-Series expressway that runs from the 401 in Toronto to Toronto Pearson International Airport, west of Highway 427, in Mississauga. Highway 409 is a short freeway used mainly as a bypass for traffic approaching the airport from Highway 401 (westbound) or approaching Highway 427 (northbound), since both are not accessible from 401 (westbound) at the mega-interchange with 427. It is known as the Belfield Expressway for its entire length.
The portion of Highway 409 west of Highway 427 is owned and operated by the Greater Toronto Airport Authority, though it is still signed as Highway 409.
Both the Ontario Provincial Police (east of Highway 427 (Ontario) to Highway 401 (Ontario)) and Peel Regional Police (west of Highway 427 (Ontario)) patrol the highway.
