History of King's Highway 86B (Wingham):

King's Highway 86B was a short Business Route which passed through Downtown Wingham. The highway was created in 1967 when the Wingham Bypass was completed and opened to traffic. The route of Highway 86 was relocated onto the new bypass route, while the old Highway 86 alignment through Downtown Wingham became Highway 86B. The highway was fairly short-lived and was decommissioned at some point in the early 1970s. However, the exact year is not known as this time.
