Looking south along Highway 28 towards its current southern terminus at
Highway 7. Highway 28 meets
Highway 7 about 7km east of
Highway 115
in Peterborough. Several geometric improvements to this intersection
were made during a construction contract that saw Highway 7 widened to five
lanes easterly from Peterborough to this junction in 2011. Upper photo

This sign assembly denotes the southern terminus of Highway 28 at the
Highway 7 and Peterborough Road 34 junction
located east of the City of Peterborough.
Before Summer 2003, this stretch of Highway 28 was part of
Highway 134.
Highway 134 was renumbered to 28 to improve the logic of the areas route
numbering.

Looking south towards the intersection with
Peterborough Road 4 at Five Corners. The intersection with
Peterborough Road 4 is controlled by a four-way stop. This four-way
stop causes a great deal of congestion during peak summer times, and should
be replaced by traffic signals. A northbound passing lane starts just
north of Peterborough Road 4.

A series of three views towards then then
current and now former Peterborough Road 29 junction. Before 2003,
Highway 134 ended at this junction, becoming Highway 28 northerly. In
2003, Highway 134 was renumbered to Highway 28, improving the highway
numbering through Peterborough County. In 2012, construction started
on a new curve diversion that would eliminate the turn that was required for
through movements along Highway 28 -- this configuration is highlighted in
the middle photo. The lower photo shows the completed curve diversion
with the pavement on the former alignment having been pulverized and
removed.

View beneath the Trent-Severn Waterway bridge.
Highway 28 crosses the waterway directly overtop of Burleigh Falls Lock #29.
The bridges that carry Highway 28 overtop of both the Trent-Severn Waterway
and Burleigh Falls North Branch were constructed approximately 2 decades
later than the Burleigh Falls South Branch bridge. Aside from the
alignment of the small parking lot for the lock, no evidence remains of the
former swing bridge that once carried Highway 28 across the canal.

Easterly view from slightly further east than
the previous photo. Highway 28 descends into a steep valley just
beyond the pictured curve. Notice the chevron's that have been
installed as positive guidance to guide traffic around the pictured curve.
Because the curve is situated just east of a vertical crest curve, the
horizontal curve cannot be seen by the driver at all. In such a
circumstance, it is tremendously important to place positive guidance to
lead drivers around the curve.

Another easterly view, this time towards the
