Highway 58 ends at a signalized intersection with Highway 3 to the west side of Port Colborne.  Click here for Highway 3 images.

Southbound junction assembly for the Highway 3/Niagara Road 3 intersection at the South end of Highway 58.  Highway 3 is locally controlled through the urban section of Port Colborne, and is as such inconsistently signed as both Highway 3 and Regional Road 3.

View looking northbound at the Forks Road intersection.  Forks Road meets at a rather odd looking stop-controlled parclo interchange, due to some tight geometry between Highway 58, a railway line, and Forks Road itself.

Newly erected green signs advising drivers of their choices as they approach Welland.  Highway 58 was downloaded through Welland and now carries several different names as the highway twists and turns through Welland to Highway 406.  It is simply astounding that the southern tier of Highway 58 remains under provincial control.

Shield assembly located just east of the Allenburg Bridge.  Surprisingly when Highway 20 was downloaded to the Region of Niagara in 1998, sporadic Highway 58 signage was left in place.

Highway 58 looking south approaching the eastern Highway 20 junction.  At this junction, (before downloading) southbound traffic must turn right towards Highway 406 and Hamilton to stay on Highway 58.  Currently, this intersection marks the southern terminus of the northern section of Highway 58.

This Photo shows Highway 58 nearing the Beaverdams Road & Niagara Falls Road intersection.  Notice the concrete driving surface on Highway 58.  Concrete was extensively used as a driving surface on highways during the mid-1960s.  This section of Highway 58 (by-passing Thorold South) was constructed in the mid-1960s as part of the Thorold Tunnel construction project.

Southerly view of Highway 58 from just south of Thorold Stone Road.  This stretch of Highway 58 is no longer paved in concrete.  This is a neat cross-section however, its too bad the use of raised singing medians has fallen out of favour.

Highway 58 looking south from the Pine Street overpass in Thorold.  This Photo shows the western (northern) Portal to the Thorold Tunnel.  Notice the onramp to Highway 58 from Pine Street meets Highway 58 at a stop sign.  Because of the close proximity with the Thorold Tunnel, there was insufficient room to construct a proper merge lane at Pine Street.

Advanced signage for the upcoming Highway 406 interchange along northbound Highway 58.  At the Highway 406 interchange, the mainline Highway 58 lanes simply default onto the northbound Highway 406.  Southbound Highway 406 is accessible via a long high-speed ramp that follows St. David's Road.
