Historical King's Highway 39 Photographs
Above - Facing west along Ouellette Avenue towards Downtown Windsor. 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. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken on July 10, 1951. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 1951)   Above - Circa 1955 postcard view of Hwy 39 (Notre Dame Street) in Belle River, facing east from Chisholm Street. See an

 Left - Facing west along Hwy 39 (Tecumseh Road) towards Windsor from Pillette Road in 1956. This interesting suburban section of Hwy 39 was constructed as a
dual highway on the eastern approach to Windsor. Despite being rather urbanized, this divided section of Hwy 39 remained under the jurisdiction and control of the
Department of Highways of Ontario (DHO) up until 1966, when it was transferred to the newly-amalgamated City of Windsor. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken on July 26, 1956.(Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 1956) Right - Deteriorated pavement on a divided section of Hwy 39 at the eastern approach to Windsor, facing west from Larkin Road. See an
