Highway 401 looking west from the Highway 2 overpass located just east of Gananoque (exit #648).  The interchange and structure located in the background of this photo, is that of the 401 and the Thousand Islands Parkway.  Highway 401 followed the Thousand Islands Parkway until public pressure forced the province to build the present alignment.  The present alignment was completed in 1968.

Highway 401 looking east from the Reynolds Road overpass located south of Lansdowne.  Since this portion of Highway 401 was designed and built later then most other sections of the highway, it is designed with more modern design standards, including a wide grassed central median.
