Burlington Street is a partially at grade and elevated roadway in Hamilton, Ontario, stretching along the south shore of Hamilton Harbour in Lake Ontario. Burlington Street has four different statuses along the route. In its western terminus, it is a collector route ending at Bay Street North. Upon the intersection at Wellington Street, the road becomes an arterial route with four lanes. The Street ends at Parkdale Avenue. On October 14, 2015, city council approved the renaming of the upper portion of Burlington Street from 165 meters east of Ottawa St to the QEW to Nikola Tesla Boulevard.[1]

Nikola Tesla Boulevard is the official exit No. 90 from QEW. The signage along the QEW for Burlington Street was eventually replaced between October 22–23, 2016, to reflect the name change. After this change, the westbound lanes of Burlington street begin from the first exit on Nikola Tesla Boulevard, heading westbound.
