Present Day Highway 28 Photographs
 Left - Junction of Hwy 2 & Hwy 28 in Port Hope (Photograph taken on July 9, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Old Youngs Point Bridge as seen from Hwy 28 (Photograph taken on July 25, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Facing north along former Hwy 28 alignment towards the Old Youngs Point Bridge. Structure completed in 1885. (Photograph taken on July 25, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The pin-connected wrought iron and steel bridge at Youngs Point is believed to be the only surviving example of its kind in Ontario. This attractive Pratt truss structure was thoughtfully preserved after the completion of the current Hwy 28 bridge at Youngs Point. The old bridge now serves as a pedestrain trail between Old Hwy 28 and the Trent-Severn Waterway Lock. (Photograph taken on July 25, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers)

 Left - The Eels Creek Bridge at Haultain has a laminated timber deck. This bridge design was only used in a few locations across the southern half of Ontario. Laminated timber deck bridges are usually found in Northern Ontario, where local supplies of concrete may be difficult to find. In these instances, the MTO will often construct a laminated timber bridge instead of a concrete bridge. (Photograph taken on October 31, 2003 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Eels Creek Bridge at Haultain as seen from the southwestern side. A narrow steel pony truss bridge at Haultain was replaced in 1952 by the current timber trestle bridge. The concrete abutments of the original bridge are visible on the western side of the highway.

 Left - Eastern terminus of Hwy 28 at the Hwy 41 Junction at Denbigh. Until the late 1990s, the route of Hwy 28 extended all the way to Port Hope, about 100 km east of Toronto. Although the southern section of Hwy 28 from Port Hope to the Peterborough area was downloaded in 1997-1998, Hwy 28 still remains one of Central Ontario's longest King's Highways.

 Left - Approaching the Hwy 41 Junction at the end of Hwy 28 in Denbigh. Originally, this section of Hwy 28 was actually a part of Hwy 41. During the 1960s, the community of Denbigh was bypassed by a new Hwy 41 alignment east of town. A portion of the old section of Hwy 41 through Denbigh was renumbered as Hwy 500, which was subsequently redesignated as Hwy 28 in 1982.
