Today (Tuesday) Studio 2 had a documentary on winter ice roads in Northern Ontario, near the town of Pickel Lake. I think it might be interesting. It's...

You know, 2A probably did disappear for a few years, from the time that the route was redesignated 401 to the time that the "Toronto bypass" opened - when the...

Hiho, ... Thats exactly what that OML guide has me thinking, yes... If this turns out to be true, it would be interesting to learn if that stub of the 2A was...

Here is a short summary of the MAJOR projects announced so far for Ontario. Highway 11 - Freewayization. New interchange for South Mary Lake Road and removal...
Thanks Dan! I wonder if there will be any plans drawn up for a new exit at the 401 and Stevenson Road in Oshawa. It makes sense with the Oshawa Centre nearby,...
Will begin Sunday April 13, just before the provincial elections (14 April)! Looks like an electoral gift or a "cadeau électoral" as I said in French. I just...
Not really, the QEW wasn't fully freewayized until the 1950s. I don't know if these rail bridges are original from the 30s or if they were installed during...
Oh, I believe that much of the QEW still had level crossings until the early 70's in Niagara. Am I right, or a little off? lol........ Anyway, I guess that...
You're a little off. The QEW was a full freeway (except for the bridges) by the mid-60s according to my grandfather. The QEW through St. Catharines is almost...
Back to my original post... I believe the rail bridge between mountain rd and glendale ave is at first glance a 1930 - 1940 era bridge. The bridges built in...
... There were no level crossings or at-grade intersections anywhere on the QEW (at least north of Niagara Falls) as far back as the mid 1960s, in my memory. ...

From today's "Winnipeg Sun". Proof again that anything relating to the phrase "grade separation" seems to blow people's minds here. When it's mentioned, our...
Wow 1937! I was close. Anyhoo, it must have been part of the New Niagara Falls Highway, or something like that, long before the 405! Joseph cameron_bevers...
That is a darn long time. Too bad. I hope it goes
through for you. I'm surprized that that and more
freewaying projects have not gone through Ontario...
I believe that the two rail crossings on the 401 were the one near Stevenson Rd. in Oshawa, which was replaced with a bridge sometime in the 1970s, and the one...
According to people I knew in Mississauga, the QEW still had intersections until the late 1960s/early 1970s when expansion to 6 lanes came through. One was at...
One can tell that the bridge had to have been there from the beginning, since the highway is cut in a trench going up the escarpment while the railway is on...
Another engineering/design contract (the stage before construction) for the upgrading of the 401 from 4 to 6 lanes including the tall wall barrier is in the...
Unfortunately the Ontario government doesn't care about building a freeway across northern Ontario because the area simply doesn't have enough votes to...
The easiest way to do this is calculate the entire length of highway at 4 lanes, then calculate the entire length of the sections that are at least 6 lanes,...
