When this photo was taken, the ramp to Highway 401 East was closed as part
of a multi-year construction project to widen and rehabilitate the Highway
401 overpass over both Highway 33 and the Trent River bridge.

Westbound ramp terminals located just north of the Highway 401 structure.
Note that the ramps to and from the westbound 401 are bidirectional.
Bidirectional ramps were common on divided highways built during the 1950s
but quickly fell out of favour on newer roads. Few examples of
bidirectional ramps remain in Ontario. The Highway 33 interchange will
be extensively reconfigured when Highway 401 is widened to six lanes in the
future.

Two views looking towards the northern side of the structure that carries
Highway 401 overtop of both Highway 33 and the Trent River. The Trent
River bridge was completed in 1956 and is 188.3m long. During a
multi-year construction project, the structure was widened from a
cross-section of 30.582 m to a cross-section of 38.240m. This widened
cross-section allows for a six lane Highway 401 cross-section complete with
speed change lanes for the Highway 33 interchange and compromised left and
right shoulders.

Highway 33 passes beneath Highway 401 through the same structure that
carries the 401 over the Trent River. A multiyear construction
contract was completed in 2012 to rehabilitate and widen the existing
structure. During this contract, the pier caps were extended out
over the river and an additional haunched steel girder beam was erected on
both sides of the structure. The structure was widened in advance of
Highway 401 being widened to six lanes through the area.

Centreline view of the roundabout -- looking easterly. Note that the
landscaping in the centre island hides view of Highway 33 continuing
easterly towards Picton. This is an important example of positive
guidance -- a driver is much less likely to notice the circular roadway
roundabout if they can see oncoming traffic approaching in the distance.

Closeup of the fingerboard sign for Sandy Hook Road. Several design
elements of the Highway 33 roundabout are atypical of highway design in
Ontario. First, concrete surfaced centre islands are very atypical,
usually MTO specifies asphalt pavement. Also, signs mounted using
square steel post systems mounted on a pedestal base is a departure from the
standard u-channel post sign mount. These design elements appear to be
borrowed from the Region of Waterloo design specifications.
