This is a list of suffixed routes of Ontario Highway 8. There have been seven confirmed iterations of Highway 8 with a suffixed route number, all but two of which were the original route of the highway prior to the construction of a bypass or diversion.
The Hamilton–Queenston Highway was assumed as part of "The Provincial Highway" in August 1918.[1] On October13 of that year, several roads were taken over by the province between St. David's and the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge in Niagara Falls.[3][4] When highway numbers were introduced in the summer of 1925, the route between St. David's and Niagara Falls was designated as part of Highway8, while the route between St. David's and the bridge to New York was designated as Highway8A.[5] Highway8A followed York Road to Front Street before crossing the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge. It remained in place until September1, 1970, when it was transferred to the newly-formed Regional Municipality of Niagara, along with Highway8.[2][6]
A predecessor to Highway 20, Highway8A followed what is now known as Centennial Parkway, as well as Beach Boulevard and Lakeshore Road across Burlington Beach. It began near Stoney Creek at Queenston Road (Highway 8) and ended at the corner of North Shore Boulevard East, Maple Avenue, and Lakeshore Road (the latter two comprising part of Highway 2).

Numbering of the various provincial highways in Ontario has been commenced by the Department of Public Highways. Resident engineers are now receiving metal numbers to be placed on poles along the provincial highways. These numbers will also be placed on poles throughout cities, towns and villages, and motorists should then have no trouble in finding their way in and out of urban municipalities. Road designations from "2" to "17" have already been allotted...
