This highway was constructed in the 1960s to serve a new Ontario Hydro Dam that was built at
Abitibi Canyon. The nearby community of Fraserdale was determined to be the proposed northern
terminus of Hwy 807, and Ontario Hydro built a short access road from Fraserdale out to the dam site.
Construction began on the highway in 1963, and the highway was completed and officially opened
to traffic on July 21, 1966. The highway was paved in its entirety in 1971. In 1977, Hwy 807
was renumbered as Hwy 634. Another, unrelated Hwy 807
existed in the Atikokan area in the 1980s. Click
