Present Day Highway 19 Photographs (Port Burwell to Ingersoll)

 Left - Western side of Otter Creek Bridge. This bridge is unusual because the rigid frame arch is located only underneath the travelled portion of the roadway. The shoulders were constructed on lateral concrete slab extensions which flanked a recessed rigid frame arch. (Photograph taken on April 7, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - This steel handrail design was introduced on a handful of bridges that were constructed by the Department of Highways in 1934. This new steel handrail became part of the standard parapet design for the Department of Highways for almost three decades. Unfortunately, this original 1934 steel handrail on the Otter Creek Bridge is showing its age and is now quite deteriorated. (Photograph taken on April 7, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Single-span concrete rigid frame structure carrying Hwy 19 over Hwy 401 in Ingersoll. The Hwy 19 Overpass was completed in 1955.

 Left - Facing east along Hwy 401 towards Woodstock from the Hwy 19 Overpass in Ingersoll. Hwy 401 ascends a long grade east of the Hwy 19 Interchange. Despite the fact that it is located 4 km away, the Oxford Road 6 (Foldens Line) Interchange can be seen in the far background. See an Enlarged Photo here.

(Photograph taken on April 28, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Aerial view of the Hwy 401 and Hwy 19 Interchange in Ingersoll, facing southwest. When this section of Hwy 401 was first constructed in the 1950s, the Hwy 19 Interchange was a full cloverleaf. In the early 1990s, Hwy 401 was widened to six lanes and the full cloverleaf interchange at Hwy 19 was converted into a diamond interchange. See an Enlarged Photo here.

(Photograph taken on April 28, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Guide sign marking the Hwy 19 Interchange on Westbound Hwy 401 in Ingersoll. This interchange marks the current northern terminus of Hwy 19. Until the northern section of Hwy 19 was downloaded to Oxford and Perth Counties in 1997-1998, Hwy 19 continued north from Hwy 401 for over 90 km, passing through Ingersoll and Stratford. The section of former Hwy 19 lying north of Hwy 401 was renumbered as County Road 119, since Oxford County already had a County Road 19 designated in their county road system at the time Hwy 19 was transferred to them.
