Page 2: Present Day King's Highway 15 Photographs (Kingston to Smiths Falls)
Above - King's Highway 15 route marker facing northbound traffic near the Hwy 2 Junction at Barriefield. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on April 9, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - Facing east along Hwy 401 from the Hwy 15 Overpass east of Kingston. The rocky topography of this area prompted the highway's designers to use a
"diamond" interchange at Hwy 401 & Hwy 15. The diamond interchange design is quite uncommon in Ontario, despite its widespread use in many other North American
jurisdictions. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on April 9, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing west along Hwy 401 towards Kingston from the Hwy 15 Overpass. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on April 9, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - Abandoned Hwy 15 alignment north of the Hwy 32 Junction near Seeley's Bay. This superelevated curve was abandoned when the highway's alignment was
improved in the 1950s. The revised highway at left features a curve with a lower superelevation rate and more gradual horizontal curvature. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 31, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Another view of the abandoned Hwy 15 alignment north of the Hwy 32 Junction. Originally, this was a twin-slab concrete highway. In order to construct the new highway alignment at right, the former northbound concrete lane was broken up and removed. The former southbound lane was left in place to serve as an access road to a nearby cemetery. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 31, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - Another abandoned Hwy 15 alignment between the Hwy 32 Junction and Morton. This twin-slab concrete pavement was constructed in 1934, when Hwy 15 was
paved between Seeley's Bay and Elgin. This particular section was bypassed during a highway improvement project in the 1950s, in order to remove a steep grade on
the original highway. The old concrete highway now serves as a private residential driveway. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 31, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Site of the Old Morton Creek Bridge on a former alignment of Hwy 15 at Morton. The old bridge was removed in 1934, when a new highway alignment was constructed north of Morton on an improved grade. Only the old concrete bridge abutments remain today. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 31, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - Former Hwy 15 alignment north of Morton, facing south towards Seeley's Bay. This steep grade and narrow roadway was bypassed by a new Hwy 15 diversion
in 1934. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 31, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Abandoned curve on a former alignment of Hwy 15 about 3 km north of Morton, showing an old section of twin-slab concrete pavement. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 31, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - Facing south along Hwy 15 towards Elgin at the Crosby Creek Bridge south of Crosby. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 31, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Western side of the Crosby Creek Bridge on Hwy 15 south of Crosby. This single-span steel girder structure was completed in 1931. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 31, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers)
