Page 7: Present Day King's Highway 2 Photographs (London to Woodstock)
Left - Facing east along Hwy 2 towards the Hwy 401 Cloverleaf east of Woodstock. (Photograph taken on March 26, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The Hwy 2 and Hwy 401 Cloverleaf is particularly interesting, as it is a junction of two divided highways. Despite the large number of full cloverleaf interchanges built on Ontario's early freeways, there were few instances where two divided highways actually met at such an interchange.

Left - The Hwy 401 Overpass at Hwy 2 near Woodstock was completed in 1955. (Photograph taken on March 26, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - View from the gore of the southwest loop ramp from Hwy 401 West, facing east along Hwy 2. Note the short merging lane before the next loop ramp exits Hwy 2 for Hwy 401 East. (Photograph taken on March 26, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - The Hwy 401 Overpass at Hwy 2 is one of the most impressive structures on the highway west of Toronto. For several years, Hwy 401 ended at this
interchange. The London-Woodstock section of Hwy 401 was completed in 1957, but the Woodstock-Kitchener section was not completed until 1961.

Left - View of the eastern half of the Hwy 2 Cloverleaf at Hwy 401. While the construction of cloverleaf interchanges is strongly discouraged today, the
example found at Hwy 2 and Hwy 401 worked remarkably well due to the low traffic volumes on Hwy 2. Nevertheless, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO)
reconstructed this interchange in 2006-2007. This reconstruction project removed yet another example of this quickly-disappearing interchange design from the
province's landscape. (Photograph taken on March 26, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Aerial view of the Hwy 401 and Hwy 2 Cloverleaf, facing east towards Eastwood. This cloverleaf interchange was particularly interesting because it was located at the junction of two divided highways. (Photograph taken on April 28, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers)
