Right - Southern side of the Montreal River Bridge on Hwy 66. The timber bents in the middle of the river were encased with planks so that floating logs and other debris would not snag the bents during spring run-off. Unfortunately, this interesting timber structure was demolished in 2007.

Right - This pair of short reversing curves gives Hwy 66's horizontal alignment a very peculiar appearance from this vantage point. In terms of road geometrics, Hwy 66 from Kirkland Lake to Matachewan is one of Ontario's most interesting highways.
