Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	This picture shows the southern terminus of Both Highway 35 and 115. This section of 35/115 was part of the original Highway 401 for a brief period; when the 401 was extended eastwards towards Port Hope, this section of 401 became incorporated at first into a Highway 35 extension, and later a Highway 35/115 extension.

Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	Driving south on the 35/115 at the Lovkin Road overpass. Lovkin Road is located about 800m north of the Highway 401 interchange. As visible in the picture, the overhead signage for the upcoming Highway 401 interchange is affixed to the Lovkin Road overpass. Highway 35/115 meets the 401 at a trumpet interchange.

Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	Highway 35/115 looking north from the Lovkin Road overpass. This picture showcases the rather substandard Lovkin Road RIRO interchange. This RIRO interchange sees very little traffic due to the close proximity of Highway 2. Because of this, no secondary auxiliary lane was constructed to separate turning traffic from higher speed through traffic. Picture taken: March 26th, 2004. Size: 50kb
Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	Looking south towards Highway 401 from the Highway 2 overpass. The Highway 2 overpass was constructed in 1952 with a very narrow span. Due to the narrowness of the bridge span there are no shoulders along Highway 35/115 through the structure. Picture taken: September 1st, 2004. Size: 50kb.
Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	Looking north along Highway 35/115 from the Highway 2 overpass. Before Highway 401 was extended to just west of Newcastle, Highway 35 ended in Downtown Newcastle following today's Mill Street south from Orono. The diversion from Concession Road 3 to Highway 2 opened in 1956, as a limited access two-lane highway that was later 4-laned in the 1980s. Picture taken: September 1st, 2004. Size: 60kb.
Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	This picture shows the sign that denotes the southern terminus of both Highway 35/115. This sign is located just south of the Highway 2 overpass (which is also shown in the photo). The Highway 2 overpass is actually originally a Highway 401 overpass that was constructed in the early 1950s when the 401 was first extended east past Oshawa. Picture taken: June 3rd, 2004.

Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	Highway 35/115 looking north from the Clarke Road 5 overpass. Orono was bypassed years before Highway 35/115 was 4-laned. Fortunately, when the bypass was constructed, it was built as a controlled access route. Highway 35/115 is still a RIRO-expressway around Orono, but there are no commercial or residential driveways.

Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	This picture shows Highway 35/115 looking north from the Ganaraska Road overpass in Kirby. This picture shows a good example of the shortcomings of a RIRO-type expressway. As you can see from the picture, the actual 'interchanges' are very low standard, typically having ramp speeds of 20km/h. Picture taken: June 3rd, 2004. Size 40kb
Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	Highway 35/115 driving north from just north of the Clarke Road 8 overpass. This is looking north from about two kilometres south of the Highway 35 split at Enterprise Hill. Picture taken: December 20th, 2004. Size: 50kb
Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	Signage for the upcoming Highway 35 split from the northbound 35/115 approaching Enterprise Hill. This sign strikes me as being somewhat odd, as traffic encountering this sign is in fact already traveling along Highway 35 towards Lindsay. It would seem to me to be more appropriate to have a diagramical sign at this location referencing both Highway 35 and Highway 115. Picture taken: December 20th, 2004. Size: 55kb.
Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	This picture shows Highway 35/115 looking south from the Highway 35 overpass. Traffic heading SB on Highway 35 enters the expressway via the slip ramp shown on the right. This portion of the expressway has since been upgraded and resurfaced since this photo was taken. Picture taken: July 19th, 2005. Size 40kb
Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	Highway 35/115 at the Enterprise Hill split. At this trumpet, Peterborough-bound traffic stays in the through freeway lanes, where Lindsay-bound departs around the loop ramp northwards. Unfortunately, due to the terrain near the interchange, traffic heading NB on Highway 35 must slow to 30km/h to navigate the loop ramp.

Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	Highway 115 looking north from the Highway 35 overpass at Enterprise Hill. Until the early 1990s the divided expressway ended at the top of the pictured hill. Though envisioned as a divided highway when constructed in the early 1950s, between Enterprise Hill and Highway 28, Highway 115 sat as a two-lane expressway into the early 1990s. Picture taken: July 19th, 2005. Size: 70kb
Durham (Clarington) - Kawartha Lakes Boundary	Looking south along Highway 115 from the Boundary Road interchange. Boundary Road is the first interchange north of the Highway 35 split, and is located roughly 23km north of Highway 401. Picture taken: July 19th, 2005. Size: 55kb.
Durham (Clarington) - Kawartha Lakes Boundary	Looking north from the Boundary Road overpass. Of interest, at Boundary Road, the original 2-lane Highway 115 switched from the current Southbound to Northbound Carriageway. The sections of Highway 115 paved in concrete represent the newer carriageway compared to the older asphalt carriageway. Picture taken: July 19th, 2005. Size: 45kb.
City of Kawartha Lakes	Looking south along Highway 115 from the Porter Road overpass. Porter Road is located roughly 28km north of Highway 401. Picture taken: July 19th, 2005. Size: 60kb.
City of Kawartha Lakes	Highway 115 looking north from the Porter Road (Kawartha Lakes Road 32) overpass. The Porter Road interchange was completed in 1991, part of a larger twinning and freewayalization project. The section of Highway 115 from Enterprise Hill to Peterborough County was the last stretch of Highway 115 to be fully freewayalized in the 1990s. Picture taken: July 19th, 2005. Size: 70kb.
Township of Cavan- Millbrook- North Monaghan County of Peterborough	This picture showcases Highway 115 looking south from the Highway 7A overpass just to the east of Cavan. The grade separation and interchange at Highway 7A and 115 was created in 1990, and was the first interchange constructed when the MTO began freewayalizing Highway 115 south from Highway 28 to Enterprise Hill. Picture taken: August 15th, 2004. Size: 55kb
Township of Cavan- Millbrook- North Monaghan County of Peterborough	Looking north along Highway 115 from the Highway 7A overpass. Before 2003, Highway 7A continued east concurrent with Highway 115 to the Highway 28 interchange where 7A turned north heading for Highway 7 at Scott's Corners. In 2003, Highway 7A was truncated to improve the logic of Highway 7's numbering through the area. Picture taken: August 15th, 2004. Size: 60kb.
Township of Cavan- Millbrook- North Monaghan County of Peterborough	1km advanced signage for the Highway 7 (formerly Highway 7A North) and former Highway 28 interchange. Notice that no cardinal direction is signed for Highway 7. This is a notable error since Highway 7 continues east of this interchange along Highway 115's routing. Picture taken: June 20th, 2006. Size: 50kb.
Township of Cavan- Millbrook- North Monaghan County of Peterborough	Signage upstream of the advanced signage denoting the eastern continuation of Highway 7 concurrent with Highway 115. Picture taken: June 20th, 2006. Size: 45kb.
Township of Cavan- Millbrook- North Monaghan County of Peterborough	Signage at the ramp to Highway 7 (formerly Highway 7A) and former Highway 28. Click here for Highway 7 images, and here for Highway 28 images (Coming Soon!). Picture taken: June 20th, 2006. Size: 40kb.
Township of Cavan- Millbrook- North Monaghan County of Peterborough	This picture shows Highway 7/115 looking south/west bound from the Airport Road overpass. Airport Road is the only standard 'Parclo A4' interchange to be located along Highway 115; this is notable as the Parclo A4 is by far Ontario's most common interchange design. Picture taken: June 20th, 2006. Size: 55kb
Township of Cavan- Millbrook- North Monaghan County of Peterborough	Looking northeast towards Peterborough along Highway 7/115 from the Airport Road interchange. Peterborough's southwest city limit is located just northeast of Airport Road. Picture taken: June 20th, 2006. Size: 50kb.
City of Peterborough	Highway 7/115 looking southwest from the Ashburnham Drive. Prior to Summer 2003 this section of highway was officially designated only as Highway 7. This was problematic as most travelers referred to the entire Peterborough By-pass as part of Highway 115, despite its Highway 7 designation. Highway 115 was extended to Lansdowne Street in 2003. Picture taken: June 2nd, 2004. Size: 45kb
City of Peterborough	This picture is looking through a dirty windshield at the Big Green Sign that marks the northern terminus of Highway 115 at Lansdowne Street in Peterborough. Highway 7 continues east of the freeway at first as a 4-lane semi-divided highway through eastern Peterborough, but mostly as a two-lane highway easterly to Ottawa. Click here for Highway 7 Images.

Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	This picture shows an old style turnaround sign along Highway 35/115 near Orono. Because not all accesses to a RIRO expressway have an overpass to facilitate a median crossing, signs are erected at exits with overpasses directing traffic towards the opposite direction. This sign is fairly old, and is of an outdated design. Modern signs look more like conventional trailblazers. Picture taken: 55kb.
Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	This is a fairly atypical square for Ontario's Highway's. Highway 35/115 is the only highway that I have seen where two highway numbers are shown in one shield or trailblazer. Picture size: 60kb
Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham	This picture shows a trailblazer assembly in Downtown Orono. Interestingly, Mill Street represents the old alignment of Highway 35 before the Orono by-pass was completed in 1956. Picture size: 95kb.

City of Peterborough	This picture is taken looking north along Airport Road at the Highway 7/115 overpass. It is interesting to note that the control cities on this signage were never updated when Highway 7 was realigned concurrent with the 115 in 2003. Despite that this is a fairly new sign, the control cities marked on it are relics from the time when Highway 28 ran concurrent with the 115 though this area. Picture taken: June 19th, 2004.
