HWY 11 #619 - © Cameron Bevers         HWY 11 #294 - © Cameron Bevers

NEW Left - The original 1923 subway at Aurora was only 42 feet wide, which was only just wide enough to allow two lanes of traffic on Hwy 11, one sidewalk, and a radial railway line to pass through. The 1940 structure, which replaced the narrow 1923 subway, was designed to ultimately accommodate a four-lane divided highway. The completion of the new Aurora Subway in 1940 was an instrumental stage in the redevelopment of Hwy 11 as a multi-lane highway during the 1930s and 1940s.
