King's Highway 66 - www.OntHighways.com

Highway 66 is an east-west highway that runs from the Montreal River bridge in Matachewan to the Quebec Boundary east of Virginiatown.  East of Highway 11, Highway 66 is part of the Trans-Canada Highway.  While it has been indicated as the Kirkland Lake Route of the Trans-Canada Highway for many years on Ontario Road maps, it wasn't until May of 2004 that signs were erected along the route, marking it as part of the Trans-Canada Highway.
