Highway 402 was one of the original 400-series highways (the other being the QEW, Highway 400, and Highway 401). Highway 402 was formerly known as the Blue Water Bridge Approach and offered direct access to the bridge, bypassing the existing Highway 7 in Sarnia. Highway 402 terminated at the interchange with Highway 40 and travellers continued onwards to London on Highway 7.

Due to increased volumes of traffic on Highway 7, the rest of Highway 402 was constructed, linking up with 401 just outside of London. East of the Murphy Road overpass, Highway 402 was re-aligned to bypass the old junction with Highway 40; Exmouth Street was redirected to connect with Highway 7 at that junction, incorporating the bypassed alignment of old Highway 402. For the new Highway 402 a Parclo B4 interchange (very rare in Ontario) was constructed with the newly twinned Highway 40 just north of the old interchange. The completion of the interchange with Front Street in 1982 removed the last at-grade intersection on Highway 402, making it a complete freeway from Highway 401 to the Blue Water Bridge.

However, the roadbed design had underestimated the volume of truck traffic and Highway 402 has required extensive reconstruction in the mid-late 1990s. In 1997, the Blue Water Bridge was twinned and sound barriers were added to the stretch between Christina Street and Modeland Road. Highway 7, the other existing provincial route between Sarnia and London was downloading to local authorities as London Line 22 around that time. Just outside London, new interchange ramps were added to the existing Wonderland Road overpass in 1998. In 2004, due to lineups leading to the bridge crossing, the speed limit was lowered to 70 km/h (45 mph) west of Airport Road. Plans are underway to widen Highway 402 to six lanes within Sarnia in 2008. Ontario provincial highway 7 is one of the Kings Highways in the province of Ontario, Canada. ...
