Historical King's Highway 39 Photographs
![]()
Above - Facing west along Ouellette Avenue towards Downtown Windsor. Photo taken on July 10, 1951. See an
Enlarged Photo here. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © Queen's Printer for Ontario, 1952) Note the signpost at right, which bears no fewer than four King's Highway shields. Although the route numbers are difficult to discern in this photo, the four marked routes are Hwy 2, Hwy 3B, Hwy 39 and Hwy 98. For a number of years, all four of these King's Highways were signed concurrently along Ouellette Avenue into Downtown Windsor. However, due to the construction of the E.C. Row Expressway and the decommissioning of Hwy 39 and Hwy 98, three of these highway routes were eventually removed from Ouellette Avenue. Only the Hwy 3B route designation survived until the 1990s. ![]() ![]() (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © Queen's Printer for Ontario, 1958) ![]() ![]() (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © Queen's Printer for Ontario, 1959) |
