View looking southerly from the West Street overpass. During the
Spring of 2010 a continuous steel barrier was installed in the median of the
pictured
freeway to reduce the likelihood of cross-over collisions. Photo taken: July 15th, 2006. |

This view looks northerly from the Telford Line cross-over. The curve
immediately visible north of Telford Line has somewhat of a kinked
alignment. Highway 11 was four-laned throughout the 1960s, following
an existing alignment where the numerous abutting properties somewhat
limited the ability of MTO's highway engineers to correct all vertical and
horizontal curves along the highway. Photo taken: July 13th, 2006. |

Southerly view along Highway 11 from the Sparrow Lake Road overpass.
Notice that Highway 11 has gravel outside shoulders in the vicinity of the
Sparrow Lake Road intersections. Gavel shoulders along RIRO sections
of Highway 11 hamper the operations of the expressway. Traffic exiting
or entering the expressway at private driveways is forced to slow and
accelerate in the right-hand (driving) lane of the expressway, rather than
along a paved shoulder. Photo taken: July 13th, 2006. |

Northerly view from the South Sparrow Lake Road overpass. Because
Highway 11 was never by-passed with a controlled access highway, many of the
1950s era roadside motels and restaurants still stand alongside the highway. Photo taken: July 13th, 2006. |

Signage advising drivers that they can reach pretty well any destination
from
this intersection. Highway 11 runs in close proximity to Lake Couchiching
in the vicinity of this photograph so many of the streets listed on this
signage are cottage access roads. Photo taken: July 13th, 2006. |

View looking southerly from the Highway 169 overpass along Highway 11.
The southern Highway 11/169 ramp is a hybrid between a trumpet
interchange and a typical RIRO interchange. Notice the positive guidance
measures directing traffic around the loop ramp on the right hand side of
the photo. Click here for an alternate view from

Advanced signage for the
Highway 169
interchange. Notice that the signage used on Highway 11 is not the
typical aluminum extruded signage that would normally be used on freeways.
Signage along the RIRO portions of Highway 11 is more indicative to what would
be used on a standard 2-lane highway. Photo taken: July 13th, 2006. |

Highway 11 looking north from the Coopers Falls Road towards Severn Bridge
south of Gravenhurst. For several decades prior to the 1950s, Highway
11/169 was the only highway to cross the Sever River.
Until Highway 103 (today's Highway 69/400) was constructed northerly from
Wabaushene through to MacTier, Highway 11 was the only road to link southern
Ontario the Muskoka Region and beyond.

Views of both sides of the bridge that carries
Highway 11 overtop of the Severn River. Highway 11 ended at the Severn
River until 1937. Prior to 1937, all roads in northern Ontario were
maintained by the Department of Northern Development and Mines and were
unnumbered. Photos taken: August 25th, 2014. |

View looking southerly across the Severn River
bridge along Highway 11/169. Late in
2006 construction started to rehabilitate the Severn River bridge. The
structure was completed in two phases in 1966, when Highway 11 was first
4-laned. Upper photo taken: August 26th, 2006. Lower photo taken: October 22nd, 2014. |

Diagramical signage approaching the northern
Highway 11/169 interchange. Notice
that the speed limit drops to 80km/h just before the interchange. This
speed limit drops due to the rather sharp right-hand curve just beyond the
off-ramp. At Highway 169, Highway 11 curves easterly as it swings
around Gull Lake on the Gravenhurst By-pass. Photo taken: October 1st, 2011. |

View looking northerly along Highway 11/169
at the northern interchange between the two highways. Notice the
diagramical sign is placed at the beginning of the ramp in this photo rather
then in advance of the interchange. The diagramical sign was erected
late in June of 2006 at the start of the off-ramp but was quickly moved to
the existing gantry downstream of the interchange. Photo taken: June 30th, 2006. |
