Highway 2 looking east from the Highway 401 interchange (at kilometre 687).  This picture showcases the western start of the 1930s-era Divided Highway that runs from here easterly to Brockville.  These type of early divided highways can still be found at many entrances to larger Ontario Centres, and represent some of the first examples of divided highways in Ontario.
