Left - View of the two-lane Hwy 11 between Emsdale and the Hwy 592 Junction near Katrine in 2003 before the highway widening, showing the proposed location of
the future northbound lanes. Hwy 11 was expanded from two lanes to four lanes during a multi-year construction contract which began shortly after this photo was taken
in 2003. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 6, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Southbound passing lane on Hwy 11 just south of the Hwy 592 Junction near Katrine in 2003. This was one of several passing lanes located along the old two-lane route of Hwy 11 between Huntsville and North Bay that were removed as result of the reconstruction and widening of Hwy 11 to a four-lane divided highway. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 6, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()
Left - This rock cut located just south of the Hwy 592 Junction near Katrine was widened in 2004-2005 to make way for the four-lane Hwy 11. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 6, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Rock cut just south of the Hwy 592 Junction near Katrine after completion of the Hwy 11 widening project. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 17, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()
Left - Facing north along Hwy 11 towards the Hwy 592 Junction near Katrine in 2003, before reconstruction. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 6, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - View of Hwy 11 facing north towards the Hwy 592 junction near Katrine in 2006, after reconstruction. When the Emsdale Bypass section of Hwy 11 was completed in the Fall of 2005, a temporary median crossover existed at the end of the four-lane divided highway. The new northbound lanes of the divided highway tied back into the existing two-lane highway immediately south of the Hwy 592 Junction. Note the large rock stockpile excavated from the rock cut to the south lying beside the highway at right. This rock stockpile was crushed and utilized as fill material for the approaches to the Hwy 592 Overpass during a subsequent highway widening contract. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Facing north along Hwy 592 approaching the Hwy 11 Junction near Katrine in 2003, before reconstruction. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 6, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Hwy 11 & Hwy 592 Junction near Katrine during reconstruction in 2006, facing north. Note the advance clearing and grading at right for the relocation of Hwy 592 and the future construction of the new northbound lanes of Hwy 11. The elevation of Hwy 592 lay well below that of Hwy 11, so a large amount of fill material was needed at this location in order for Hwy 592 to span the new four-lane divided highway.

This at-grade intersection was closed off and grade-separated in 2008-2009 as a result of the reconstruction of Hwy 11 as a four-lane divided highway. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Former abutment of the old Ferguson Highway Bridge at Magnetawan River. The old steel pony truss bridge at this location was closed and demolished after
the current Magnetawan River Bridge was completed in 1961. The revised alignment of Hwy 11 built along with the 1961 bridge also bypassed a sharp curve immediately
north of the old structure. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 4, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The tranquil Magnetawan River provides a mirror image of the steel plate girder superstructure. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Close-up view of the bolted steel plate girder superstructure on the Magnetawan River Bridge. This bridge was replaced by a new concrete girder
structure in 2009-2010 as part of the Hwy 11 expansion from two to four lanes. See an

Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 6, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - View of Doe Lake Road at Katrine in 2003, facing east towards the future Hwy 11 Interchange. Doe Lake Road is actually an old alignment of the Ferguson Highway, a Northern Development Trunk Road which was the predecessor of today's Hwy 11. The Ferguson Highway was relocated onto an improved alignment for several miles between Katrine and Burk's Falls once a new steel truss bridge was completed over the Magnetawan River in 1930.

Left - View of Hwy 11 facing north from Doe Lake Road at Katrine in 2003. The Magnetawan River Bridge lies a short distance ahead. Completed in 1973, this
concrete structure replaced a large steel through truss structure which had been completed on a diversion of the Ferguson Highway (the predecessor of Hwy 11) in 1930.
Prior to the completion of the bridge, the Ferguson Highway turned left onto Doe Lake Road. See an
