History of King's Highway 11A (Muskoka):
The actual existence of King's Highway 11A through the Muskoka District has not yet been confirmed. In 1953, the Bracebridge Bypass was completed and
opened to traffic. The Highway 11 designation was apparently relocated onto the new highway corridor between Muskoka Falls and Parkersville. The old route of
Highway 11 through Bracebridge was kept in the provincial highway system for several years thereafter, although its posted numerical designation is unclear.
Several road maps from that period indicate that the old alignment of Highway 11 retained its original designation, while others indicate that the highway
was renumbered as Highway 11A. If anyone can confirm how this highway was originally signed, that would be appreciated. In August 1957, the portion of
Highway 11A from Muskoka Falls to Falkenburg became Secondary Highway 532 (now Muskoka Road 118 and Muskoka Road 4). The balance of the former Highway 11
route was decommissioned and is now known as Lone Pine Drive. Two other unrelated routes in
Toronto and
Thunder Bay were also designated as Highway 11A.
