minimize seasonal frost heaving. See an Enlarged Photo Here. Photo taken in 1971.(Photo courtesy of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - © King's Printer for Ontario, 1971) |

Present Day Secondary Highway 614 Photographs
Left - Facing west (north) along Hwy 17 approaching the Hwy 614 Junction at Hemlo. These two highways intersect about 50 km northeast of the Town of White
River. Hwy 614 serves as the main highway access leading into Manitouwadge, which is located about 50 km north of Hwy 17. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on August 29, 2011 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Distance guide sign facing eastbound (southbound) traffic on Hwy 17 at the Hwy 614 Junction. This highway junction is approximately the mid-way point between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. It is also the point where Hwy 17 begins to be signed as an east-west route again, rather than as a north-south route. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Facing east (south) along Hwy 17 towards the Town of White River from the Hwy 614 Junction at Hemlo. See

Left - Facing east (south) along Hwy 17 approaching the turn-off to Manitouwadge at the Hwy 614 Junction. See
an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on August 29, 2011 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Junction sign assembly and fingerboard guide signs at the Hwy 614 and Hwy 17 Junction at Hemlo. Until recent years, Hwy 17 was signed with "North" and "South" cardinal directions between this highway junction and Nipigon. The cardinal directions along Hwy 17 between the Hwy 614 Junction and Nipigon were apparently in the process of being changed to "East" and "West" when I was visiting Northwestern Ontario in 2011. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on August 29, 2011 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - Facing north along Hwy 614 towards Manitouwadge from the Hwy 17 Junction near Hemlo. The route of Hwy 614 from Hemlo to Manitouwadge was first
designated as a Secondary Highway in May 1956. However, it wasn't until late 1956 that Hwy 614 was actually linked to the rest of Ontario's Highway System. As
construction progressed on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Marathon, traffic was eventually permitted to use the newly-constructed section of Hwy 17 as far east as
Hemlo. Road access from Marathon to Manitouwadge was therefore possible once the new section of Hwy 17 was opened to traffic between Marathon and Hemlo. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on August 29, 2011 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Southern terminus of Hwy 614 at the Hwy 17 Junction at Hemlo, located southeast of Marathon. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on August 29, 2011 - © Cameron Bevers)
