Looking northerly along the Port Severn Road overpass towards the Severn
River bridge. Starting in 2015, the northbound Port Severn structures was
replaced. Because of high volume of traffic that uses Highway 400 during
peak periods, the southbound structure will be widened and will permanently
carry traffic in both directions. The existing northbound structure and
approaching highway alignment was demolished
and abandoned.

Advanced signage for the northern Port Severn interchange. Before the
District Municipality of Muskoka was formed in the early 1970s, today's
Muskoka Road 5 was designated as Secondary Highway 501. Unlike most of
the other secondary highway numbers used within Muskoka and Haliburton, the
Highway 501 designation has never been recycled and used on another, newer
highway elsewhere in the province. Photo taken: September 10th, 2012. |

Two views looking northerly as Highway 400 crosses the McDonald River.
Unlike most of the more recent sections of highway twinning for the
construction of Highway 400, when Highway 69 was twinned in the 1990s across
the McDonald River bridge, the existing lanes of Highway 69 were not
extensively reconstructed as part of the project. Therefore, the 1950s
era box culvert that now carries the northbound lanes was not replaced with
a longer structure such as the one that was constructed during the 1990s for
the southbound lanes. This gives the highway a unique
highway geometry through the area. Photos taken: September 26th, 2013. |

Northbound view approaching the off-ramp to Muskoka Roads 32 and 38. For
several years after Highway 400 was extended to the Musquash River, the
divided highway met Muskoka Road 32 and 38 at an at-grad intersection.
The Muskoka Road 32/38 interchange encroaches Whata Mohawk Territory, and
the interchange could not be constructed until a legal arrangement had been
finalized between the MTO and the first nation. Photo taken: September 26th, 2013. |

Northbound signage approaching the northern Lake Joseph Road (former Highway
69) junction. In the upper photo, staff were removing the overlay that
showed this exit as being a portion of Highway 69. Before the Lake
Joseph diversion section of Highway 400 first opened to traffic, Exit #213
was originally signed as Seguin Road 69 and Rankin Lake Road. Shortly
before the highway opened to traffic, the signs were overlaid with Highway
69 crowns. Nearly a decade later, the Highway 69 crows are being
removed, and the former alignment of Highway 69 has been designated Lake
Joseph Road. Upper photo taken: September 10th, 2012. Lower photo taken: October 23rd, 2012. |
