Highway 2 information that pertains to the Kingston to Lancaster Section:

Freeway:  None

Multiplexes:  Approx. 1km with Highway 138 in Cornwall.

Interesting Facts:  Highway 2 still legally exits between the east Gananoque town limits and Highway 401 (interchange # 648).  Ironically, just east of Highway 401 (interchange # 648) was among the first portions of Highway 2 to see the demise of downloading.  Highway 2 north of the 401 was removed from the provincial highway system in the mid 1990s.

Heritage Highway:  Highway 2 is the heritage highway from Kingston to Gananoque, (where the designation follows the Thousand Islands Parkway).  Highway 2 is once again the heritage highway from Highway 401 interchange #687 easterly.

AADT (1994):  Highest: 18,150, from Kingston easterly to Highway 15;
                              Lowest: 1,900 from Shanly Road (L&G Road 22) the CNR (Kingston Subdivision) rail crossing.

Road Info:  East of Kingston, Highway 2 is quite interesting at times.  Between Kingston and Gananoque, Highway 2 has a fairly typical feel to the highway, and is well built.  Between Gananoque and Brockville Highway 2 travels north of Highway 401.  This section of Highway is very interesting, as it was bypassed in the 1940s by Highway 2^S.  Because it was bypassed so early, Highway 2 still has a very 1930s feel to it.  From Highway 401 (interchange # 687) to Brockville, Highway 2 is a 1930s style divided highway, which makes for a very interesting drive, especially since it has been dwarfed since the 401 was built, bypassing it to the north.  From what I have traveled east of Brockville, Highway 2 is fairly typical of most 'lesser-traveled' Ontario Highways, east to Lancaster.
