History of King's Highway 12B (Victoria Harbour):

The Victoria Harbour Business Loop was established in 1977, when the Victoria Harbour Bypass was completed. The old alignment of Highway 12 (via William Street, Richard Street, and Park Street) became Highway 12B. The highway was 3.5 km long. The route was rather short-lived, and was decommissioned around 1982. Four other Highway 12B Business Routes have existed over the years in Port McNicoll, Orillia, Coldwater and Gamebridge.
