View looking southerly from the Highway 169 overpass along Highway 11.
The southern Highway 11/169 ramp is a bit of a mix between a trumpet
interchange and a typical RIRO interchange. Notice the guidance
measures directing traffic around the loop ramp on the right hand side of
the photo.

View looking northerly along Highway
11/169 from
the southern Highway 169 overpass. The Washago By-pass was completed
in 1955 as a controlled access highway. Because the Washago By-pass is
a controlled access highway, it lacks private driveways and can be
considered a full freeway.

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 present on
freeways. Signage along the RIRO portions of
Highway 11 is very
similar to what would normally adorn a conventional 2-lane highway.

Highway 11 looking north from the Coopers Falls Road overpass located about
17km south of Gravenhurst. This picture highlights Highway 11/169crossing
the Severn River Bridge. The route via Severn Bridge was at one point
the only route between Toronto and the Muskoka Region. Later, Highway
103 (now
69/400) was
constructed to the west.

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

View looking northerly from just north of the
Severn River bridge. Highway 11 ended at the Severn River bridge until
1937 when the DHO (predecessor to the MTO) merged with the Department of
Mines, who, prior to that had had jurisdiction over trunk roads in Northern
Ontario. The Highway 11 designation was extended northerly almost
900km to just west of Hearst at that time.

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.

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.
