Historical Highway 39 Photographs

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.
