Page 7: Present Day Hwy 6 Photographs (Mount Forest to Durham)

 Left - Concrete bowstring arch design of the Beatty Saugeen River Bridge on Old Hwy 6 at Orchardville. This structure design was replicated on
many other provincial highway bridges built in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Sadly, there are few of these concrete bowstring arch bridges which still
stand today.(Photograph taken on September 18, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Concrete barrel arch bridge over the Beatty Saugeen River on Hwy 6 north of Mount Forest. Structure completed in 1957. (Photograph taken on May 16, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers)

 Left - Orchardville Tailrace Bridge on the former alignment of Hwy 6, north of Mount Forest.(Photograph taken on May 16, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Orchardville Tailrace Bridge on the former Hwy 6 alignment north of Mount Forest. This structure was built by Grey County before the Department
of Highways assumed the Guelph-Owen Sound Road as a provincial highway in 1920. The bridge was extended to its current width in 1929, in order to permit
two-way traffic to use the bridge. The original bridge could only carry one direction of traffic at a time.(Photograph taken on May 16, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Former alignment of Hwy 6 at Orchardville Hill, facing south towards Mount Forest.(Photograph taken on May 16, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing north along Hwy 6 towards Durham from Orchardville Hill, north of Mount Forest. The original Hwy 6 alignment seen here was bypassed
in the 1950s by a new highway (at right) with an improved grade. See an
Enlarged Photo here.(Photograph taken on May 16, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) |
