Page 4: Present Day Hwy 6 Photographs (Hamilton to Freelton)
 Left - Clappison Cut on Hwy 6 north of Hamilton. This large rock cut was excavated to reduce the steep grade on Hwy 6 at the Niagara Escarpment. (Photograph taken on April 19, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Looking north through the Clappison Cut on Hwy 6 in Hamilton (Photograph taken on April 19, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - The intersection half-way down the escarpment is actually a former alignment of Hwy 6. The old highway had a steep grade and a tight switchback which was bypassed in the 1920s. (Photograph taken on April 19, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Junction of the Old Guelph Road and Hwy 6 at the base of the Clappison Cut. This sideroad was closed permanently in 2006 as part of a multi-year reconstruction project to improve Hwy 6 between Hwy 403 and Clappison Corners.

 Left - Facing south along the eastern side of Hwy 6 from Old Guelph Road (Photograph taken on April 19, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - View of Hwy 6 from the top of the Niagara Escarpment, facing south towards Hamilton. The reconstruction project will see Hwy 6 converted into a divided highway from Hwy 403 to Hwy 5 and will eventually include a future interchange at York Road, which can be seen here at the base of the hill. The project will be completed in 2008. (Photograph taken on April 19, 2006 - © Cameron Bevers) |
