Municipality of Prince Edward County View looking northerly along Highway 49 from just north of the former Picton Town Limits.  Highway 49 was surfaced in concrete in 1965, in conjunction with the completion of the Quinte Skyway Bridge.  Considering the concrete is over 40 years old now, it is in amazing condition.

Municipality of Prince Edward County Looking south, up the same hill the previous picture is looking down, towards Picton.  Most of the northern portions of Prince Edward County are situated high above the neighbouring Bay of Quinte atop this ridge.

Municipality of Prince Edward County Looking north once again towards the Quinte Skyway and the junction with Prince Edward Road 15.  Interestingly, Prince Edward Road 15 actually passes under Highway 49 through the Quinte Skyway, necessitating a connector road be constructed to link Highway 49 with County Road 15.

Northerly view approaching the eastern Highway 2 intersection.  Traffic signals were installed at this junction in 2008.  Amazingly, despite the construction, the Highway 2 signs pointing to Deseronto were not removed!
