reconstruction, from a low standard parclo-B, to a more modern configuration
with a parclo-A on north of the 401, and a diamond to the south. Click

Looking westerly from the
Highway 2 interchange located at the eastern
end of the Tilbury Bypass. Highway 2 provides the only access to and
from Tilbury and Chatham-Kent Road 1 from Highway 401. This was likely
done to minimize disruption to existing businesses along Highway 2 when the
Tilbury bypass was first constructed in 1961.

Looking west from the Highway 40
interchange. Highway 40 has a comparatively low-standard interchange
compared to most of those between two highways through Southwestern Ontario.
This is because Highway 40 was not extended south of Chatham until after
Highway 401 had been constructed.
