This picture shows Highway 69 looking south from just south of the Richard
Lake Road intersection. This picture also shows the southern beginning
of the semi-urban 4.5 lane cross section. When the new Highway 69
freeway opens in 2008 it will meet the existing Highway 69 here, eliminating
this S-curve.

COMPASS sign for southbound traffic located about 3km south of
Highway 17 in Sudbury. This is one of four COMPASS signs that were
installed early in 2005. These signs typically convey safe driving
messages, but also alert drivers of upcoming road construction or closures
if required.

Approaching the end of Highway
69. Highway 69 ends just south of Sudbury at
Highway 17. Before
the southern Sudbury Bypass Highways were constructed, Highway 69 would have
met Highway 17 closer to downtown Sudbury. Sudbury Road 46 makes up
most of Highway 69's former alignment into the centre of the city.

Looking south along Highway 69-New from roughly 500m south of the Gladu Road
overpass. Notice the concrete culvert is being pre-stressed to ensure
the highway settles on top of Northern Ontario's often weak soil conditions
before the highway is paved and opened to traffic.

View looking north towards the Gladu Road interchange on Highway 69-New.

tie into this new alignment at this interchange. Picture taken: July 3rd,

View looking north through the Gladu Road structure. Notice that
through this portion of Highway 69-New has only one carriageway and no
central drainage through the Gladu Road interchange. This would
suggest that this portion of Highway 69-New will not be a divided highway.

View looking east from the Gladu Road overpass towards the graded east side
of the interchange. The Gladu Road interchange is of an odd
configuration, as although it will function as a trumpet, the western-side
ramps will not be directional, requiring right turns on and off of Gladu
Road from the ramp terminals.
