I'm thinking this is just another MTO press release telling us what we already know. As far as I know, there's no freeway plan, even though I think the...
I'm agree with Jay on this one, however if MTO will "claim" they don't have full money yet, how about building it first as a super-2 or as a 4-lanes "rural...
Traveled to Gananoque on the weekend to visit family. Highways traveled were QEW, 407, 401, 2, 2S/401, 137, 32. Noticed on 2S at the Landon bridges, there is...

I don't think anything with signals is appropriate ... but that's just me! The MTO should be looking at the larger picture of creating a limited- access 2-4...
I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Cameron Bevers, owner of "The King's Highway" website, for completely driving the entire Ontario Highway...
I hope they would be, although they usually want a representative on hand for those kinds of things. How about a story in the newspaper instead? Congrats! Greg...
From what I remember, Hwy 7 around St. Mary's, just after 7 has the big bend has a wide ROW. I would hope that any bypass would tie into that ROW that the...

Good work Cameron...hopefully one day I will catch up to you! At this point I've probably driven under 10% of what he's driven. What does this hand-drawn...
It's been a while coming, and it's been talked about for a little bit, but finally we are ready to announce an upcoming Roads Meet for the Southern Great Lakes...
In the general London vicinity, two roads have miraculously been "promoted" to freeway status (i.e. thick orange line) on Google Maps. These include Hwy 4...
... The Highway 4 south of London has always been like this (and is in Google Earth as well) . Can't comment on the other ones. One other thing. The Highway...
Just a quick note to say that I have updated the King's Highway ends site once again. This update features new pages for Highway's 5, 19, 35 and 60, and a new...
I'm not sure its an error, but I think it is Google Maps way os saying "use this route to go between the two highways if there is no direct ramp" ... both...
A few news stories to catch up on. The first is a joint federal-provincial-municipal project to widen Manning Road near Windsor from two to five lanes. ...
The MTO issued a press release outlining improvements to highway 12 near Orillia. A version, minus the standard copy n' paste list of the SO Hwy strategy is...
Another MTO press release, this time regarding work to the Queensway in Ottawa. http://ogov.newswire.ca/ontario/GPOE/2006/09/07/c3446.html?lmatch=&lang=_e.html...
The MTO and Transport Canada announced that they will be conducting bore drilling operations along a number of the possible new crossing sites (where they deem...
Saved the best for last. In spite of the bashing that is done to the MTO by individuals on this forum in other situations, really, they do good work. And this...
- Construction is almost finished along Highway 407 for the additional lanes between 404 and 427. The eastbound 4th lane is now open from the 400 to 404, and...
The last thing the MTO wants to do is add more traffic to the 401 in Cambridge, and by building the '424' to the east of the city, that is going to happen...
... My suspicion has been that we will see the western bypass built after all, and extended south of the city parallel to the existing highway 8 but about 2 to...
I uploaded a map of my plan to the ontroads files site, under the name 424 map. It is a small slice of the ORM showing the area in question. The mip pen and...
