History of King's Highway 128:
King's Highway 128 was a local highway that connected the small community of Redditt to Highway 17 in Kenora. The highway was 30 km long when it was first
commissioned on January 18, 1956. The highway remained a gravel road until the late 1960s. In 1969, the section of Highway 128 between Kenora and the
Highway 598 Junction was paved. In 1974, some paving work took place between the Highway 659 Junction and Redditt. However, a gravel-surfaced section
remained between the Highway 598 Junction and the Highway 659 Junction, thus making Highway 128 one of the last King's Highways in Ontario to have
gravel-surfaced sections. Since Highway 128 served only a local purpose, it was decided to re-designate the route as a Secondary Highway. In 1975,
Highway 128 was renumbered as the notorious Secondary Highway 666.
