Present Day Highway 27 Photographs (Barrie to Waverley)
Left - An abandoned alignment of Hwy 27 south of Elmvale. This old Hwy 27 alignment was the first abandoned road that I ever took notice of as a child, and I was always fascinated by it. Years ago, my family would drive past this point almost every summer weekend on our way up to Midland, and I always seemed to make a special point of looking at the old highway as we drove by on the new road. I often wondered why the old road was abandoned in the first place, and how long it had been since it last carried traffic. This old Hwy 27 alignment was one of the main reasons why I became so interested in the history of Ontario's highways.
