Left - This superelevated curve on the abandoned Hwy 60 alignment near Golden Lake is the most dramatic that I have ever seen on an Ontario provincial highway. The banked curve was constructed in the late 1930s on the original Hwy 60 alignment between Golden Lake and Lake Dore (now known as Lake Dore Road). Unfortunately, this old alignment is now closed to traffic. Driving along this section of Hwy 60 in the late 1930s and early 1940s certainly would have been an experience!

Right - Old Hwy 60 alignment at Bark Lake near Madawaska. The original 1930s alignment of Hwy 60 was flooded in 1942 during the construction of a hydro-electric dam. This photo shows the point where the original highway was inundated by the floodwaters. The area is now a popular boat lauch.
