Looking south towards Little Current from just south of the Little Current
Swing Bridge. As in many small communities, Little Current has control
over Highway 6 (and
Highway 540)
within their urbanized area through a connecting link agreement.
Unlike many municipalities however, Little Current pays the MTO for regular
maintenance operations through the community.

Looking northerly through the Little Current Swing Bridge. This bridge
was constructed in 1913 to serve exclusively rail traffic from the mainland to Manitoulin Island. The bridge deck was modified in 1946 to allow both
vehicular and rail traffic. This situation existed until the 1980s
when rail service was discontinued on Manitoulin Island and the rails were
removed from the bridge.
