From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peel Regional Road 4 is signed as Dixie Road in Mississauga.

South of Dundas Street East, Dixie Road dips beneath a railway bridge carrying the GO Transit Milton line.

Peel Regional Road 4, known as Dixie Road for most of its route, is a major north-south thoroughfare in the Peel Region cities of Mississauga and Brampton, Ontario, Canada and is the third Concession Road east of Hurontario Street. It begins at Lakeshore Road East in southeast Mississauga at the Lake Ontario shoreline (in the community of Lakeview), and ends at Olde Base Line Road, in Caledon where it becomes Horseshoe Hill Road.

It was originally called 3rd Line.

Sites along Dixie Road include:

• Dixie Value Mall
• Bramalea City Centre
• Pearson International Airport
• Dixie GO Station
• Ontario Khalsa Darbar

Dixie is named for the Village of Dixie (at Cawthra Road and Dundas Street West). The village is named in honour of Dr. Beaumont Dixie, a settler whom paid for the establishment of the Union Chapel, a multi-denominational Protestant church in the village.^[1]
