The steel railings pictured on the Newburgh Road structure are atypical of
what is normally present on freeway structures in Ontario. These steel
railings replaced an older design when this structure was rehabilitated in
the 2000s. Photos taken: June 29th, 2012. |

Overhead sign and structure for the Highway 38 interchange. This was the
only overhead sign erected in the first phase of the six-lane widening
through Kingston. The MTO's Eastern Region adopted the standard of placing
full overhead signage on highways of three or more lanes per direction
several years after Southwestern Region did.. Photo taken: June 29th, 2012. |

Highway 401 looking west from the Highway 38 overpass in the west end of Kingston. Just west of Highway 38, Highway 401 descends into a large valley where it crosses Collins Creek.

Looking west from the Sydenham Road overpass in Kingston. A
construction contract completed in 2006 saw Highway 401 widened to six lanes

An older Macdonald-Cartier Freeway sign that was formerly situated just west
of the Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd. interchange in Kingston. When this
photo was taken in 2004, a dozen or so of these M-C Freeway signs remained
along Highway 401 in Eastern Ontario. As of December, 2011, save for a
single sign in the GTA, all of the remaining M-C Freeway signs had been removed along
the entire length of Highway 401. Photo taken: October 22nd, 2004. |

View looking easterly at the advanced overhead sign for the eastbound Sir
John A. Macdonald Boulevard interchange in Kingston. This interchange was
completed in 1992, and prior to the widening of Highway 401 to six lanes through
Kingston, was the only interchange in Kingston to be signed with overhead
signs. It is still the only interchange in Kingston to be lit with high-mast lighting. Upper photo taken: March 14th, 2009. Lower photo taken: June 29th, 2012. |

Green advanced signage for Division Street. On the older signage, notice
the odd use of an advanced arrow instead of a distance to the ramp.
This arrow type was typically reserved for overhead signs. This ground
mounted sign likely once stood overhead before the Sir John A. Macdonald
Blvd. interchange was constructed. The newer (2012) signage omits the
'exit bar' which should be included underneath of the advanced arrow since
the exiting lane has developed before the sign. Upper photo taken: March 14th, 2009. Lower photo taken: December 3rd, 2011. |

Green signage for the ramp to Division Street. Oddly enough, before
the Sir John A. Macdonald interchange was completed, the Division Street
interchange was signed with overhead gantries. Judging by the signage,
it would appear that the Division Street overhead signs were moved to the
Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard interchange when it opened. You can check out
pictures of these signs at the
VintageKingHighway website. Upper photo taken: March 14th, 2009. Lower photo taken: December 3rd, 2011. |

This view looks easterly from the Montreal Street overpass in Kingston.
The upper photo showed the longest lasting example of box-beam median guiderail that remained in
place along the 401. Box-beam median barrier was a common median
treatment on freeways built in the early 1970s in Ontario. It has
fallen out of favour due to the continued development of improved highway
median technologies. Box-beam is however still commonly used in new
construction in neighbouring New York. Upper photo taken: June 19th, 2004. Lower photos taken: May 22nd, 2016. |
