History of King's Highway 123 (#2):
The second King's Highway 123 served as a route connecting Highway 11 to the North Bay Airport. This highway designation came into being in 1960, when the
Department of Highways assigned the Highway 123 designation to Airport Road in North Bay. Airport Road itself was actually assumed as a provincial highway
back in 1940, but it apparently did not have a posted route number until 1960. The highway was 6.8 km in length. In 1970, most of Highway 123
was transferred to the City of North Bay. However, a small section of Highway 123 lying immediately east of the Highway 11 Junction was retained in the
provincial highway system until 1974, when it became an unposted 7000-series highway. This final section of Airport Road was eventually determined to be
superfluous, and it too was transferred to the City of North Bay in 1979.
