Historical King's Highway 40A Photographs
Above - Resurfaced section of Hwy 402 approaching Modeland Road east of Sarnia in 1959. At the time this photo was taken, Modeland Road met Hwy 402 at an
at-grade intersection. When the Bluewater Bridge Approach (Hwy 402) was first built through Sarnia in the 1940s, it was designed as a four-lane divided highway with
limited access. A grade-separated interchange was built at Christina Street, but all other intersections along the initial route of Hwy 402 through Sarnia were left
at-grade. It took many years to fully convert Hwy 402 into a controlled-access freeway through Sarnia. An interchange was built at Modeland Road (Hwy 40) on a
slightly realigned route of Hwy 402 in 1975-1976. Photo taken in 1959. (Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 1959) 
Above - Junction of Hwy 402 and Modeland Road (Lucasville Road) east of Sarnia in 1962. This aerial photo of Hwy 402 shows the junction of Modeland Road and the
adjacent Hwy 7 junction, just east of Sarnia (facing east). Modeland Road was later incorporated into the Sarnia Bypass and was designated as Hwy 40 in the mid-1960s.
The at-grade intersection at Hwy 402 was eventually eliminated through the construction of a proper interchange at Hwy 40. In the 1970s, Hwy 402 was extended easterly
from Sarnia towards London and was realigned through the area in the bottom left corner of the photo. The Hwy 402 connection to Hwy 7 seen here was subsequently
removed and is now the site of a shopping plaza. Sarnia's present day "Golden Mile" can be seen along Hwy 7 in the top left corner of this photo. See
an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken on November 28, 1962. (Photo © Archives of Ontario - Series RG-14-151-7-16, Photo #3851)
