 Left - Facing north along Old Wanup Road towards Hwy 69 New Overpass in April 2005. The Old Wanup Road is the original 1937 alignment of Hwy 69 leading to the former site of the Burwash Prison.

 Left - Site of future Old Wanup Road Overpass in April 2005. The blasting and heavy grading in the background is for the future four-lane Hwy 69, which is scheduled to open in 2009.

 Left - Facing south towards Estaire along current Hwy 69 near Dill Lake Road (Photograph taken on April 16, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - View of current Hwy 69, 1 km south of Crown Ridge. Once the new four-lane Hwy 69 is completed in 2009, this old alignment of Hwy 69 will be diverted towards the new highway, where it will end at a trumpet interchange.

 Left - Facing south along Hwy 69 from Crown Ridge showing the end of the existing four-lane highway. This undivided four-lane cross section extends southerly from Sudbury for about 6 km.

 Left - Hwy 69 facing south from Crown Ridge. Note the construction site for Hwy 69 New in the distance. The MTO will be reconstructing this portion of Hwy 69 over the next few years as part of their long-term plan to four-lane Hwy 69 from Parry Sound to Sudbury. Hwy 69 New will meet the existing highway at the bottom of this ridge just beyond the curve in the highway. (Photograph taken on April 16, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Advance right-of-way clearing for Hwy 69 New facing north towards the existing Hwy 69 alignment, just south of Crown Ridge (Photograph taken on April 16, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Cleared right-of-way for Hwy 69 New south of Sudbury in April 2005. Note the heavy grading and rock blasting taking place in the background. A new trumpet interchange will be built there shortly. (Photograph taken on April 16, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - A pair of new concrete culverts on Hwy 69 New south of Sudbury. This portion of Hwy 69 New is scheduled to open in mid-2009, bypassing about 20 km of the winding current highway. (Photograph taken on April 16, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Facing south along Hwy 69 New just south of the Crown Ridge trumpet interchange. Note the excess gravel piled on top of the graded roadway above the culvert in the foreground. This is a "loading" process which is done to encourage the fill around the culvert to settle and compact prior to the final grading and top-course application stages of the construction project. Fills surrounding culverts are particularly susceptible to sinking over time, which can be very difficult to rectify once the highway is open to traffic. This fill loading process reduces the probability of sinkage and the associated damage to the completed roadway.

 Left - Graded ramps for the trumpet interchange at the end of Old Hwy 69 at the new four-lane highway Hwy 69. Note the warning beacon placed in the centre of the graded roadway to mark the beginning of the median between these future ramps.
