Topic: Ontario provincial highway 11


  
  Highway 11 (Ontario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 11 is one of the longest of Ontario's King's Highways, with a current length (as of 2004) of 1 636 km (1,016 miles).
Highway 11 was originally constructed as a trunk road to connect the communities of northern Ontario, and was initially planned to run from North Bay to Cochrane.
North of Gravenhurst to North Bay, the highway is a mixture of freeway sections and at-grade rural expressway (planned to be upgraded to a full freeway) except for one gap that remains a two-lane conventional highway; that section is expected to be widened by 2012.
