Route Description
Portions of YRR48 are still under construction, extending it southward from Highway 407 to York Regional Road 69 later in 2008, forming the outline of the community Box Grove. A northern section of the YRR48 is planned from YRR25 to Highway 48, its completion will result in the decommissioning of the provincial designation Highway 48 between YRR25 and YRR48, thus making Highway 48/YRR48 a continuous route.
YRR48 is intended to relieve north-south traffic congestion on York Regional Road 68 and York Regional Road 69 (Ninth Line), with signage suggesting that drivers to use YRR48 as alternate route. The road is also responsible for the rapid growth of the new community of Cornell.
The portion of completed road is paved with two lanes per direction, with a grass median divider. Between York Regional Road 73 and Highway 7, YRR48 runs right next to Reesor Road, which will be retained as a two-lane rural road.
