Present Day Highway 30 Photographs
 Left - Overlooking the Hwy 401 & Hwy 30 Interchange north of Brighton. The historic Danforth Road (now Telephone Road) crosses the path of Hwy 401 at this point. During the construction of Hwy 401, this road was realigned to meet up with Hwy 30 so that only one grade separation was required at the new freeway. Telephone Road continues on the hill beyond the Hwy 401 & Hwy 30 Interchange. (Photograph taken on May 7, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Two of the ramps connecting to Hwy 30 from Hwy 401 were built on the original Danforth Road alignment. This old 19th century stage coach road was built from Toronto (York) to Kingston between 1799 and 1802 under the direction of land surveyor Asa Danforth. This photo provides an interesting contrast between one of Ontario's oldest roads and one of its newest. From this perspective, an observer can appreciate the vast importance that Ontario's roads have had on its development. (Photograph taken on May 7, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Facing east towards the Hwy 30 Overpass on Hwy 401 from Telephone Road. This curve on Hwy 401 is one of the sharpest curves on the entire highway. However, the highway's rather abrupt horizontal geometry makes for a particularly photogenic scene.

 Left - Facing south along Hwy 30 towards Codrington at Salt Creek Bridge. Note the extended southwest wing wall at right, which protects the intersecting road approach from water erosion. (Photograph taken on July 25, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - An old alignment of Hwy 30 is conspicuously noted on this highway sign at Meyersburg (Photograph taken on July 25, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - The old Meyersburg alignment of Hwy 30 follows a portion of Percy Boom Road and "Old Hwy 30". The old highway crosses the current highway beyond the warning sign in the background. (Photograph taken on July 25, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Old Hwy 30 at Meyersburg was bypassed by a new and improved alignment in 1937 (Photograph taken on July 25, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - A new bridge was constructed on the Meyersburg Diversion in 1937. This 1937-dated bridge was replaced in 1991 by the current Hwy 30 Bridge, which is shown in this photo.

 Left - The high-level Trent River Bridge was completed in 1968. This new bridge bypassed an old swing bridge, a one-lane truss bridge and the entire community of Trent River.

 Left - The Wight's Island Bridge connects to the northern shore of the Trent River. Until 1968, Hwy 30 went across Wight's Island and crossed to the south shore of the Trent River via an old swing bridge. The old swing bridge was removed once the high-level bridge was opened to traffic.
