King's Highway 36 - www.OntHighways.com

Highway 36 is an important highway, yet it is not a particularly useful route for distance travelers.  It is instead, an important access road which links areas from the south (particularly the GTA) to Bobcaygeon, and the very well developed Kawartha Lakes Region.  Highway 36 was downloaded in its entirety January 1st, 1998.

  Western Terminus:  Junction Highway 7 just southeast of Lindsay on the Bypass

Eastern Terminus:  At Highway 28 in Burleigh Falls

Length: 73.4 km

Multiplexes:  A 7.3 km multiplex existed with Highway 507 before both highways were downloaded in January 1998.

Freeway: No

Status:  Entirely downloaded:  New names are Kawartha Lakes Road 36 and Peterborough Road 36

Road Condition:  Highway 36 is very nice for its entire length.  The section in Kawartha Lakes was rehabilitated not too long before being downloaded by the MTO.  Peterborough County has refurbished its entire length of 36 since 1998 to very high standards as well.  The City of Kawartha Lakes seems to be doing its best to ensure that Highway 36 does not remain the high MTO standard for long.
