Above - New Otonabee River Bridge on the Peterborough Bypass (today's Hwy 7 & Hwy 115) in 1961. This structure now carries the eastbound lanes of Hwy 7 & Hwy 115 only. A twin structure was built on the north side of the existing structure in 1982-1983 to carry the westbound lanes of the highway.

Left - Facing east along Hwy 2 towards Newcastle at the Hwy 35 & Hwy 115 Interchange in 1961. Until the Newcastle-Port Hope section of Hwy 401 was opened to traffic about a year before this photo was taken, virtually all east-west traffic between Toronto and Eastern Ontario passed through this interchange. Hwy 401 temporarily ended here for about 8 years between 1952 and 1960. Traffic volumes on Hwy 2 through Newcastle dropped precipitously once Hwy 401 was opened between the Hwy 35 & Hwy 115 Interchange near Newcastle and the Hwy 28 Interchange near Port Hope on June 30, 1960. It is interesting to note in this 1961 photo that this highway interchange was once fully illuminated. The majority of the luminaires seen here were removed by the end of the 1960s. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken on June 12, 1961.

Right - View of the Hwy 2 Interchange on Hwy 35 & Hwy 115 near Newcastle, facing north. This photo shows the original two-lane highway before it was widened to the current four-lane expressway in the early 1980s. Note the King's Highway route markers at right, which point ahead to Hwy 35 & Hwy 115. Until a year prior, this interchange also marked the eastern terminus of the Toronto-Newcastle section of Hwy 401. These two route markers served as a notification to motorists that although the road itself continued straight ahead, they were no longer following Hwy 401. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken on June 12, 1961.

Motorists who are used to today's frenetic pace along the expressway portion of Hwy 35 & Hwy 115 may find it soothing to admire the more leisurely pace depicted in this view of the original highway from the early 1960s, when it was only two lanes and carried little traffic.

Note that the divided highway ends immediately north of the Hwy 401 Interchange. A "butterfly" overhead sign structure points the way to Hwy 401 East Kingston and Hwy 401 West Toronto. Erected in 1960, this overhead sign was installed as part of a general trend by the DHO towards the placement of overhead signs at major freeway interchanges. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken in July 1971.

Left - Aerial view of the Hwy 35 Junction on Hwy 115 at Enterprise Hill north of Newcastle in 1972. This at-grade intersection remained in place until the late 1980s, when it was replaced by a new grade-separated interchange on an improved alignment. Prior to the completion of the interchange, traffic continuing north on Hwy 35 towards Lindsay from Enterprise Hill had to turn left across the southbound lane of Hwy 115. The new Hwy 35 Interchange was completed and opened to traffic in the Fall of 1987, coinciding with the conversion of Hwy 35 & Hwy 115 to a four-lane limited-access expressway at Enterprise Hill. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken in 1972.

This was one of several at-grade intersections along Hwy 115 that was grade-separated during the twinning of Hwy 115 in the early 1990s. In addition to being widened from two to four lanes, Hwy 115 was also converted into a fully controlled-access freeway between the Hwy 35 Interchange at Enterprise Hill and the Hwy 28 Interchange southwest of Peterborough. Photo taken in 1972.

Above - Aerial view of the Hwy 28 Interchange on Hwy 115 southwest of Peterborough in 1972, facing south towards Port Hope. This interesting photo shows the partially-completed interchange, as it appeared before the extension of Hwy 115 to the Peterborough Bypass in the late 1970s. When Hwy 115 was first opened to traffic in 1954, the highway terminated at a "T" Junction at Hwy 28. As traffic volumes grew over the years, the number of vehicles turning left onto Hwy 28 at the end of Hwy 115 started to cause significant congestion at this highway junction. In 1966-1967, a partial interchange was built at Hwy 115 & Hwy 28 as an interim improvement until Hwy 115 was extended easterly from Hwy 28 to the Peterborough Bypass. This interim improvement proved to be very effective, as it successfully accommodated the heavy left-turn movement from Hwy 115 via a grade separation over Hwy 28. A loop ramp carried Hwy 115 traffic north towards Peterborough uninterrupted. It wasn't until 1978 that Hwy 115 was finally extended easterly from Hwy 28 to the Peterborough Bypass. The Hwy 28 Interchange was reconfigured when this section of Hwy 115 was twinned in 1985. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken in 1972.

In the early 1980s, the loop ramp to northbound Hwy 35 & Hwy 115 at right was removed and the interchange ramps were converted to a diamond configuration. Today, traffic has to turn left in order to access northbound Hwy 35 & Hwy 115. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken on August 8, 1977.

Up until 1982, westbound traffic on Hwy 2 heading southbound to Hwy 401 entered into a loop ramp just beyond the structure. Following reconstruction, westbound traffic on Hwy 2 wishing to go south towards Hwy 401 had to turn left. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken on July 31, 1984.

Note the small timber curb placed along the highway's centreline between the eastbound and westbound lanes of the freeway. These timber curbs were placed to protect the bridge's centre construction joint as well as to discourage motorists from making illegal U-turns on the freeway. As part of the reconstruction and widening of Hwy 401 in the Newcastle area in the late 1990s, a concrete median barrier was built across the structure. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

The 1990s marked an inflection point for Ontario's Ministry of Transportation, when the general focus turned towards the rehabilitation of existing highway infrastructure with less emphasis on further expansion of the provincial highway network.

It was one of a handful of pre-stressed concrete girder bridges built along the King's Highway system in 1957-1958, at a time when the Department of Highways of Ontario (DHO) was seeking alternatives to using cast-in-place concrete construction methods for new highway bridges. Port Hope District (DHO District #7) experimented with methyl alcohol additives in concrete grout mixes on some precast girder bridges in an effort to ensure proper concrete curing during winter work.
