Prior to 1998, the road extended north and east of Maynooth through Barry's Bay, and ended in Pembroke. This section highway was redesignated Hastings County Road62, Renfrew County Road 62, and Renfrew County Road58. The concurrency with Highway60 from Barry's Bay to Highway512 outside Killaloe was removed after downloading (moving provincial cost/responsibilities to the municipal level). The section between Foxboro to Bloomfield was previously part of Highway 14.
Secondary Highway 518, commonly referred to as Highway 518, is a provincially maintained secondary highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. Highway518 spans 72.7 kilometres (45.2mi) between Parry Sound and Kearney. It serves as one of the many links between Highway400 and Highway11. The highway was assumed in 1956, and has remained generally unchanged since, aside from being truncated slightly at both ends.
Route description
Highway518 generally parallels the Seguin Trail, a recreational trail along the old rail bed of the Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway.
It begins at Exit220 of Highway400, south of the town of Parry Sound, where the road continues west as Hunter Street to the former route of Highway69 (Oastler Park Drive). From Highway400, the route travels straight east to Orrville, where it turns north onto Star Lake Road. The route zig-zags through rugged Canadian Shield and thick forests, generally arching northeast until meeting the Nipissing Colonization Road north of the ghost town of Seguin Falls. The highway crosses the Seguin Trail, turns east and parallels it through Bear Lake, Whitehall and Sprucedale. The trail arcs south at this point, and Highway518 continues east. South of Doe Lake, the highway turns northeast, while Star Lake Road continues east.
The Veterans Memorial Parkway (VMP, known as the "Veterans" by locals) is a 9.2km (5.7mi)expressway located in London, Ontario. The expressway was previously known as King's Highway 100 from 1977 until 1994 and as Airport Road from 1977 to September 2006. It is currently an at-grade, four-lane expressway. Long term plans / proposals for the route include north and south extensions of the road and grade separatedinterchanges along its entire length, converting it to a freeway.
History
In the late 1960s, the highway was conceived by the Ontario government as a freeway bypass that would run along the eastern and northern parts of London. The road would connect to Highway 401 in the south and join up with Highway 402 in the west. This plan, however, never came to fruition due to city council's reluctance to fund an urban freeway.
Instead as a compromise, the City of London and the province decided that the proposed road would be constructed as a two-lane highway from Highway 401 north to Oxford Street. Designed as a super two, the design included a 250-metre-wide (820ft) right-of-way so that an additional carriageway could be built in the future. As well, the road would be designated as Highway 100 and named Airport Road. The road featured traffic lights at intersections, with available land to built interchanges if warranted. The Hanlon Parkway (also known as Highway 6 North) in Guelph was built around the same time and had similar features as Airport Road, including the same overpass contractors for their trumpet interchanges with Highway 401, and at-grade intersections, although the Hanlon was opened as a four-lane divided road. Construction on Airport Road began in early 1975, with its official opening in 1977.
Highway40 was built as a depression-relief project in 1934. The original routing followed what is now the St. Clair Parkway, but was rerouted to create that scenic road in the mid-1970s. The Sarnia Bypass was built between 1963 as Highway40A and renumbered as Highway40 by 1965; the original route through Sarnia became Highway 40B until it was decommissioned during the early-1990s. The route was extended to Highway3 in Blenheim during the early 1970s; however this section would be the sole part of Highway40 decommissioned during the Ontario highway transfers. The route is 91.8km (57.0mi) long.
State Trunk Highway 62 (often called Highway 62, STH 62 or WIS 62) was a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It ran north–south on South Packard and Kinnickinnic Avenues within the municipalities of Cudahy, St. Francis, and Milwaukee. Maintenance was turned back to the cities in 1999, and signs were removed, after the completion of the Lake Parkway and the creation of WIS-794.
In the 1920s, WV 62 was designated West Virginia Route 19.
Up until the late 1960s, WV 62 was designated as U.S. Route 35 from Dunbar to Point Pleasant, crossing the Silver Bridge into Gallipolis, Ohio. After the Silver Bridge collapsed in 1967 (necessitating the building of a new bridge, the Silver Memorial Bridge—finished in 1969), US 35 was moved to the south bank (replacing the former WV 17) of the Kanawha River and US 35's previous route was designated as WV 62.
In December 2003, WV 62 was extended northward (but geographically southeastward) along then-US 33 from its former northern terminus at US 33 in Mason to Ripley.
On this day more than any other day Is the time to have a fire He said to himself all that was left Was to give his friend a last goodby He would toss the ashes into the desert wind And fulfill the wish he promised his old friend (chorus) Peace at last No more pain Out on Highway 62 (repeat) High contane in this tank and his brain Propelled him through Hollywood Hip cowboy on his black stead Fallen angels praying he could Make it home and live to see 31 On the wrong side of the law Pure seduction always tempted By all the crazy things he saw (chorus x 2) You know they're all crazy but they do have faith And faith cures all ills The gal with the glass eye behind the bar Slipped him some methydrine pills If I crash and burn just bury me With my hog by my side I'm tired of living I guess I'm ready To take that long last ride (chorus x 2) It happened one night in a cold desert breeze The grinding of metal the spinning of wheels The way all great legends go Before sun up she took a pick up truck And a backhoe to dig his grave A match to the flame and all that remains Is a blackened stain All the foot of Joshua Tree (chorus out)
