Page 1: Historical Highway 4 Photographs
![]() Above - Newly completed Londesborough Bridge on Hwy 4 north of Clinton (1933) Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation ![]() Above - View of a widened section of Hwy 4, 5 miles south of Lambeth (1948) Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation ![]() Above - Postcard view of Hwy 4 & Hwy 6 in Downtown Durham (1950) This interesting postcard photograph shows the overlapped route of Hwy 4 & Hwy 6 through Downtown Durham. This short concurrent route of Hwy 4 & Hwy 6 was discontinued in the early 1950s when a new Hwy 4 alignment was constructed at the western entrance to Durham. Double-shield King's Highway sign assemblies are visible along the street in the background. Compare the historic postcard view shown above with this present day photograph which I took from roughly the same location in 2008. See an Enlarged Photo here.
