Route

Highway 8 begins at its western terminus in downtown Goderich, at the junction with Highway 21. It travels eastward as a normal city road, running through Stratford (where it begins multiplexing with Highway 7). At New Hamburg, the combined Highway 7/8 becomes a controlled-access freeway and continues into Kitchener (where the 7/8 freeway is known as the Conestoga Parkway).
At the midpoint of the Conestoga Parkway, Highways 7 and 8 split off from one another, with Highway 8 turning southeastward. It then goes off the freeway via an interchange and onto a local road, King Street East. Here, the highway intersects with Highway 401.
Highway 8 then enters Cambridge, following city streets such as Shantz Hill Road, Fountain Street, King Street, and Dundas Street. It then continues as a normal road out of Cambridge and into Hamilton, ending at Highway 5 in the town of Peters Corners.
