Looking south along Highway 17 across the Little
Pic River Bridge. The Little Pic River bridge is one of the most
impressive structures located along Highway 17. The structure is a
massive 3-span deck truss bridge.

Looking north across the Little Pic River bridge. The Little Pic River
bridge is located in a deep valley and Highway 17. Notice the odd
striping that has been applied to southbound Highway 17 across the bridge,
this is likely to encourage vehicles to slow down before the sharp curve at
the south end of the structure.

Looking south along Highway 17 around the curve at the south end of the
Little Pic River bridge. This long curve has been broadened from its
original alignment. Notice the gravel grading to the left side of the
current curve.

Looking north along Highway 17 from the Highway
626 (Peninsula Drive) intersection. Highway 626 leads south from
Highway 17 into the town of Marathon. Marathon is a fairly large
community (by Northern Ontario standards) and has approximately 4,000
reisdents.

Looking north from Wawa towards Highway 17. North of Wawa, Highway 17
heads inland and offers far less spectacular scenery then it does to the
south of Wawa where it follows the steep shores of the Lake Superior
coastline.

View looking north along Highway 17 at a very
similar scene to the previous picture. A photo very similar to this
one graced the cover of the 1990/91 Ontario Official Roadmap. Picture

View looking south along Highway 17 towards the
Highway 101 intersection. Highway 101 departs Highway 17 from a rather
oblique angle, making for somewhat of an oddly designed intersection.

Myself standing beside the junction signage for the Highway 17/101 junction. Many thanks
to Cameron Bevers for photographing me beside this sign commemorating the
last section of Highway 17 (Thessalon to Wawa) that I traveled.
