First cosign assembly eastbound on Highway 17/64 just east of Verner.
Oddly all assemblies on this co-designation are signed with the Highway 64
shield before the Highway 17 shield. This is inconsistent with normal
signage practices in Ontario. Picture size: 50kb. |

Highway 17 looking east from just west of the western Highway 17B junction in North Bay. When first constructed in the 1930s, Highway 17 would have curved right and followed what is now Highway 17B into North Bay. The North Bay Bypass was built in the 1950s as a two lane route bypassing congested downtown North Bay. The North Bay Bypass is currently a 4-lane undivided, at-grade urban expressway. Picture taken: May 29th, 2004.. |
