Ontario Highway 35B (Dorset) History - The King's Highways of Ontario

King's Highway 35B was a short business route through Dorset which was established sometime after the Dorset Bypass was completed and opened to traffic in 1958. The old alignment of Highway 35 through Dorset was designated as Highway 35B, although it is not certain at this time if this occurred immediately after the Dorset Bypass opened. Department of Highways mileage tables prior to 1970 seem to omit the Highway 35B Dorset Business Route, so it is not certain if this was an official designation for the first few years after the Dorset Bypass opened. It is believed that Dorset's Highway 35B Business Route was decommissioned in the early 1970s. The exact dates of this route's existence is not known at this time. Any additional information on this highway would definitely be appreciated. An unrelated Highway 35B Business Route also existed in Lindsay between 1958 and 1998.
