Palm tree signage located on eastbound Highway 550B at its terminus with Highway 17B in downtown Sault Ste. Marie (I think). Although this is not technically part of Highway 17, Highway 17B is integral link between Highway 17 and the International Bridge in the Sault. Therefore, for the time being, I have decided to house these pictures here. Summer of 1989. |

Eastbound Highway 17B, as the designation departs Wellington Street to the northeast. As the Highway 17B terminus with Highway 17 is only a few kilometres to the east of this shot, this municiaplly made overhead gantry only makes reference to Highway 17 for the sake of simplicity. Summer of 1989. |
