King's Highway 138 - www.OntHighways.com
Since the bulk of Highway 34's mileage was decommissioned in 1998, Highway 138 is now Ontario's eastern-most highway to link Highway 401 to 417. Highway 138 is the major north-south highway to lead from Cornwall. It's southern terminus is at Vincent Massey Drive, just north of the Seaway International Bridge which links Massena, New York to Cornwall, Ontario. Highway 138 is a fairly new highway, being commissioned during the years leading up to Highway 417's construction in the early 1970s. Because Highway 417 jogs so far to the south at Cassleman, Highway 138 is the preferred north-south road into both Ottawa, and Hawkesbury from the Highway 401 corridor in Eastern Ontario. Highway 138's mileage was not altered during the downloading spree's of 1997/98.

Southern Terminus: Highway 2 (Vincent Massey Drive) in Cornwall. Northern Terminus: At the Highway 417 interchange just east of Casselman. Length: 38.6km Multiplexes: None Freeway: No AADT (2006): Highest: 10,300, from Cornwall northerly to County Road 18; Lowest: 4,750, from Highway 43 northerly to County Road 22. Road Info: I have never driven Highway 138, so I cannot provide first hand experience. From what I have seen of it in photos, and on Google Street view, Highway 138 appears to be in good to fair condition for its entire length. It's not an overly busy highway, and it traverses the subdued terrain of Eastern Ontario. It has a posted speed limit of 80km/h in rural areas.. |
