Left - Southern side of the Hwy 2 Underpass (Hope Township Bridge #11) on Hwy 401 near Port Hope. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 24, 2016 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Northern side of the Hwy 2 Underpass on Hwy 401. This single-span concrete rigid frame girder structure was completed in 1959. Although Hwy 2 crosses Hwy 401 several times throughout Southern, Central and Eastern Ontario, this is the only location where Hwy 401 intersects with the original "Provincial Highway". This 46-mile route between the Rouge River and Port Hope became Ontario's very first provincially-maintained highway when it was established back in 1917. This part of the Provincial Highway became a part of Hwy 2 once route numbers were assigned to the province's highways in 1925. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

The ramps at the Hwy 28 Interchange are in a modified "A-B Parclo" configuration. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on August 16, 2008 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()
Left - Facing west along Hwy 401 towards Newcastle from the Hwy 28 Overpass in Port Hope in 2006, before the six-laning of Hwy 401 was completed east of Port
Hope. The outermost eastbound lane drops immediately east of the Hwy 28 Overpass, while the outermost westbound lane commences from the Hwy 28 on-ramp and becomes an
"away" lane. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on May 7, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - View of Hwy 401 at the Hwy 28 Overpass in Port Hope in 2008, facing west towards Newcastle. Note that there are now six through lanes on the highway, and the westbound on-ramp coming from Hwy 28 now has a dedicated speed-change lane. When the Hwy 401 & Hwy 28 Interchange first opened to traffic in 1960, the exit ramps from Hwy 401 had direct tapers with no speed change lanes. The exit ramps were elongated through the construction of speed change lanes as part of an interchange retrofit project carried out in 1971. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - End of the six-lane section on Hwy 401 in Port Hope in 2006, before being widened east of the Hwy 28 Interchange. Note the arrows painted on the
pavement directing traffic to change lanes before the lane drop. After Hwy 401 was widened east of the Hwy 28 Interchange, the right-most lane became continuous. See
an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on May 7, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Western side of the Hwy 28 Overpass on Hwy 401 in Port Hope. This three-span concrete rigid frame girder and slab structure was completed in 1959. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on August 16, 2008 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()

Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 8, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Close-up of the parapet design on the Hamilton Road Overpass. The embossed elements on the concrete section are an interesting addition to this Hwy 401 Overpass. Minor embellishments such as this greatly improve the aesthetics of a freeway structure.

Left - The embossed concrete elements on the Hamilton Road Overpass on Hwy 401 are visible from both the bridge deck and the bridge's exterior profile. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 8, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing east along Hwy 401 from the Hamilton Road Overpass. The highway was widened from four to six lanes between Port Hope and Cobourg in 2006-2007. The existing lanes on Hwy 401 had to be realigned in preparation for the construction. Note that at the time this photo was taken, the eastbound lane realignment was almost complete, but the westbound lane realignment was still being set up. See an Enlarged Photo Here.
