Page 1: Historical Highway 48 Photographs
  Left - Facing south along Hwy 48 towards Markham at the Mount Albert Creek Bridge in 1955. This interesting photo shows Hwy 48 shortly after the
road was assumed as a King's Highway in 1954. Note that there was no centre line painted on the highway at that time. Photo taken on July 28, 1955. See an
Enlarged Photo here. For an interesting comparison, this
2005 photo shows the same section of Hwy 48, 50 years later.Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation Right - Original Mount Albert Creek Bridge on Hwy 48 between Stouffville and Sutton. This small timber structure was built by York County in 1930, more that two decades before
