King's Highway
95 - www.OntHighways.com
Highway 95 is a short highway that
exists entirely on Wolfe Island. Both Highway 95 and its cousin Highway 96
were downloaded in there entirety on January 1st, 1998. Historically, Both
Highways 95 and 96 were the only two King's Highways that were never physically
connected to the mainland via a fixed link. Because of this, traffic
volumes on both Highway 95 and 96 are very light. Both Highways 95 and 96
have changed very little from there inception into the highway network in the
mid-1930s, and as such, both offer an excellent look back through time at what
earlier King's Highways looked like. For anyone in the Kingston area,
Wolfe Island is certainly worth the short ferry ride. The ferry (schedule available
here
from the MTO site) runs throughout the day at half an hour intervals, departing
from Downtown Kingston.

Road Info:
Highway 95 is a very interesting road for its entire length on Wolfe Island.
Highway 95 has changed very little since it was originally constructed in the
1930s. Pavement widths are narrow, and the road is paved with a coarser
type of pavement that wouldn't usually be found on King's Highways.
Traffic volumes are very light on Highway 95, and it has a rural posted
speed limit of 80km/h. Watch for reversing corner near Port Alexandria
with advisory speed of 30km/h |
