Page 12: Present Day King's Highway 17 Photographs (Verner to Sudbury)
Left - Facing east along a former Hwy 17 alignment at the Kirk Creek Bridge west of Verner. This former section of Hwy 17 (St. Amour Road) was bypassed by a
new highway diversion in 1948. The relocated highway bypassed several narrow bridges on the original highway, including this one. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 18, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The Kirk Creek Bridge is an old timber trestle bridge that was constructed in the 1930s. The bridge deck was rehabilitated quite recently. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 18, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers)

Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 18, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The abandoned Deer Creek Bridge on the former Hwy 17 alignment (St. Amour Road) east of Warren. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 18, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - This simple Warren truss bridge design was used extensively by the Department of Northern Development on new Northern Ontario Trunk Roads built during
the 1920s and 1930s. However, many of these narrow old steel truss bridges were torn down and replaced with wider structures. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 18, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing east across the abandoned Deer Creek Bridge on the former Hwy 17 alignment between Verner and Warren. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 18, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - The former Hwy 17 alignment (St. Amour Road) is now closed to through traffic at the Deer Creek Bridge, about 3 km east of Warren. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 18, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - This former alignment of Hwy 17 near Warren was closed many decades ago, and is now completely overgrown. A portion of the old Hwy 17 alignment is still drivable through a nearby roadside park. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 18, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - View of the Warren Roadside Park and Picnic Area on Hwy 17 between Verner and Warren. A former alignment of Hwy 17 dating from the 1930s can be see at
left. In 1948, Hwy 17 was relocated onto a new alignment to the south. A roadside park was developed between the old and new highway alignments. This park is located about 2 km
east of Warren. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 31, 2017 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing west along Hwy 17 towards Sudbury, about 2 km east of Hagar. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on June 18, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Above - Abandoned alignment of Hwy 17 east of Wahnapitae. Note the grooved concrete pavement, which was designed to facilitate pavement drainage and assist in
vehicle traction on steep grades. This section of concrete pavement was constructed in 1938. It was one of many Hwy 17 improvement projects carried out on the
eastern approach to Sudbury during the late 1930s. (Photograph taken in July, 2002 - © Cameron Bevers) |
