Page 2: Present Day Hwy 6 Photographs (Port Dover to Caledonia)
 Left - Western side of the nine-span concrete bowstring bridge over the Grand River at Caledonia. The Caledonia Bridge is the longest concrete bowstring bridge ever built in Ontario. (Photograph taken on September 19, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing north towards Hamilton along Old Hwy 6 at the Grand River Bridge in Caledonia. When the Caledonia Bypass was completed in 1982, Hwy 6 traffic was diverted off of this bridge and onto a new highway alignment west of town.

 Left - Caledonia Bypass, facing north towards the Grand River Bridge. This two-lane bypass is a fully controlled access highway, with grade separations. Until 1982, all Hwy 6 traffic passed through Caledonia. (Photograph taken on September 20, 2007 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing east along Hwy 54 towards the Grand River Bridge on the Caledonia Bypass (Hwy 6). Structure completed in 1981.

 Left - View of Hwy 54 facing west from Hwy 6 Overpass. The highway follows the scenic Grand River between Cayuga and Brantford.

 Left - Grand River Bridge on Hwy 6 (Caledonia Bypass). This simple but remarkably impressive eight-span continuous concrete girder structure also acts as a grade separation between the Caledonia Bypass and Hwy 54. (Photograph taken on September 20, 2007 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - There is no direct access from Hwy 6 to Hwy 54 at the Grand River Bridge in Caledonia. There was little need to provide an interchange at this location when the Caledonia Bypass was built in the early 1980s, since Hwy 54 was (and still is) lightly used. Traffic must use municipal roads (Greens Road and Mines Road) to access Hwy 54 from Hwy 6, or use Argyle Street (Old Hwy 6) through Caledonia.

 Left - View of the Caledonia Bypass Bridge from the south bank of the Grand River. The slender pier design of this bridge minimizes the structural footprint in the water and greatly improves the bridge's aesthetic appeal.
