 Left - Facing east along Hwy 17 towards Dryden at the Beaver Creek Bridge. (Photograph taken on September 1, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The Beaver Creek Bridge is one of the few structures in MTO's Northwest Region that still retains its original steel balustrades. Many structures in the Kenora area have had their original steel balustrades replaced with box beam guide rails during bridge rehabilitation projects over the past 10 years. Box beam guide rails are widely used on highway bridges in Northwestern Ontario. (Photograph taken on September 1, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Northern side of the Beaver Creek Bridge on Hwy 17 between Dryden and Vermilion Bay. (Photograph taken on September 1, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing north along Hwy 105 from the Hwy 17 Junction at Vermilion Bay. It is a very lonely 175 km drive from Vermilion Bay to Red Lake along Hwy 105. This route was originally known as the Red Lake Road, but it was designated as Hwy 105 when the road was completed in 1947. (Photograph taken on September 1, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers)

(Photograph taken on September 1, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing south along Hwy 105 towards the Hwy 17 Junction at Vermilion Bay. At this highway junction, Hwy 105 begins its long 175 km journey north to the distant gold mining communities of the Red Lake district. This highway forms the only road link to the Red Lake area.

 Left - Erroneous green guide sign approaching the Hwy 105 Junction on Hwy 17 at Vermilion Bay. On this sign, Hwy 105 is marked as a Secondary Highway, when it is in fact a King's Highway. However, the subsequent guide sign at the highway junction (shown in the next photo) correctly marks Hwy 105 as a King's Highway. (Photograph taken on August 25, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Green guide sign marking the Hwy 105 Junction on Hwy 17 at Vermilion Bay. Hwy 105 is one of only two King's Highway routes which intersect Hwy 17 between the Hwy 11 Junction near Thunder Bay and the Hwy 71 Junction in Kenora. The only other route is Hwy 72, which connects to Hwy 17 at Dinorwic, just east of Dryden. (Photograph taken on September 1, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) |
