History of King's Highway 11B (North Bay):

The North Bay Business Route was created in 1959, when the old alignment of Highway 11 through downtown was renumbered as Highway 11B. The North Bay Bypass was completed in 1953, but for several years thereafter, the old alignment of Highway 11 through the city (via Lakeshore Drive, Main Street and Algonquin Avenue) retained its original designation. In the mid-1970s, Highway 11B was rerouted along a system of one-way streets through downtown. Between Fisher Street and Algonquin Avenue, Highway 11B followed Oak Street southbound and McIntyre Street northbound. North Bay's Highway 11B Business Route was 11.9 km in length. The highway lasted until November 6, 1998, when the connecting link status of this highway was formally repealed.
