Page 10: Present Day Highway 2 Photographs (Kingston to Morrisburg)
 Left - Facing east along Hwy 2 at Lyn Creek, 10 km west of Brockville (Photograph taken on October 9, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Former alignment of Hwy 2 west of Brockville. This portion of Hwy 2 was bypassed when the divided highway was completed from Brockville to Butternut Bay in the late 1930s. (Photograph taken on October 9, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Divided portion of Hwy 2 west of Brockville. This divided highway was constructed in 1936, making it one of the first dual highways ever built in Ontario. The narrow grass median was typical of divided highways built in the 1930s. When constructed, the original highway had a handful of trees in the median, but they were later removed as they posed a collision hazard for motorists. (Photograph taken on October 9, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Another view of divided section of Hwy 2 west of Brockville, facing east. Although it is fairly empty now, this highway once served as a vital transportation corridor before the days of Hwy 401. (Photograph taken on October 9, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers)

The extensions were added to widen the highway to four lanes. (Photograph taken on October 9, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers)

 Left - Former Hwy 2 alignment near Iroquois, severed by the St. Lawrence Seaway project (Photograph taken in July, 2002 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Flooded portion of Hwy 2 near Iroquois. This view of Hwy 2 was taken in approximately the same location as the 1945 postcard shown on Page #1. Most of Iroquois was relocated above the flood line during the 1950s. However, this flooded section of Hwy 2 serves as a reminder of the original townsite that now lies below the waters of the bay in the background of this photo.
