Veterans Memorial Parkway is a 9.2 kilometre four-lane expressway previously known as Highway 100 (1977 - 1994), and also as Airport Road prior to September 2006.

In 2005, a group of local Veterans approached council which approved their suggestion of renaming Airport Road to Veterans Memorial Parkway. On September 15, 2006, the Government of Canada joined Veterans and the City of London to honour the sacrifices and contributions made by Canadian Veterans and paid tribute to fallen service men and women. Part of the ceremony was the unveiling of new road signs and remembrance banners which were installed at major intersections along the Parkway.
