Page 12: Present Day Hwy 6 Photographs (Little Current to Espanola - Hwy 17)
 Left - Old Hwy 6 alignment across Goat Island north of Little Current. In 1998, about 3 km of Hwy 6 was relocated further to the east, providing a greatly improved link between Little Current and the mainland. This dangerous curve in the old highway on Goat Island was one of the primary reasons that this old section of Hwy 6 was bypassed. (Photograph taken on July 2, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The former Hwy 6 alignment across Goat Island is still open to traffic as a local access road, which ends abruptly at the channel between Goat Island and Great La Cloche Island. This former alignment can be found just north of the Little Current Swing Bridge. (Photograph taken on July 2, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Unfortunately, an old steel truss bridge dating from 1938 was removed from the old causeway between Goat Island and Great La Cloche Island as a result of the relocation of Hwy 6 in 1998. (Photograph taken on July 2, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Abandoned Hwy 6 causeway leading up to the former bridge between Goat Island and Great La Cloche Island (Photograph taken on July 2, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Goat Island Channel, showing the abandoned causeway that once carried Hwy 6 between Little Current and Espanola (Photograph taken on July 2, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The new causeway to Goat Island was opened in 1998. It was constructed on an abandoned railway right-of-way. (Photograph taken on July 2, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers)

 Left - Facing north along Hwy 6 towards Espanola across the new Goat Island Causeway. This new causeway offers a much safer and direct access to Little Current from Great La Cloche Island. Note the unusual steel box-beam guide rails used on the causeway. (Photograph taken on July 2, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Beginning of the Goat Island Hwy 6 Diversion about 3 km north of Little Current (Photograph taken on July 2, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - The new Goat Island Hwy 6 Diversion can be seen at left, while the abandoned highway approach to the former Goat Island Causeway can be seen at right. About 3 km of the old highway approaching the Goat Island Causeway was bypassed in 1998. (Photograph taken on July 2, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Abandoned section of Hwy 6 across Great La Cloche Island north of Little Current. The incredibly flat terrain of this portion of Great La Cloche Island gives the old Hwy 6 alignment an infinite appearance.

 Left - Abandoned Hwy 6 (Formerly Hwy 68) alignment on Great La Cloche Island, north of Little Current (Photograph taken on July 1, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Abandoned Hwy 6 alignment on Great La Cloche Island. Almost 10 km of Old Hwy 68 was abandoned on Great La Cloche Island when a straighter highway alignment was constructed in the 1960s. (Photograph taken on July 1, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Facing south along Hwy 6 towards the Birch Island Causeway. There are several causeways on Hwy 6 linking the numerous islands which lie between Little Current and Whitefish Falls.

The original 1930s alignment of this highway was almost completely abandoned during reconstruction projects in the 1960s. Evidence of the original highway is now disappearing, as the surrounding forest slowly regenerates. (Photograph taken on July 1, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers)
