This four-span concrete box girder structure was completed in 1959. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on April 12, 2009 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()
Left - Facing north across the Hwy 6 Overpass on Hwy 401. Heading northbound, Hwy 6 runs concurrently with westbound Hwy 401 for 4 km. The overlapped route of
Hwy 6 & Hwy 401 is marked on Hwy 6 itself as seen here, but is not actually marked along the freeway. Up until the 1970s, Hwy 6 used to continue north from this
interchange towards Guelph via Brock Road. Originally, this was the only interchange for Guelph along Hwy 401. Today, traffic can access Guelph from Hwy 401 via
either Brock Road (Old Hwy 6) or the Hwy 6 Bypass (Hanlon Parkway). See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on April 12, 2009 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Sign marking the entrance ramp to westbound Hwy 401. Hwy 6 turns right at the north ramp terminal and follows Hwy 401 along a short concurrent routing between Exit #299 (Hwy 6 South) and the Hanlon Parkway at Exit #295 (Hwy 6 North). The Hanlon Parkway was built in the 1970s to divert through traffic on Hwy 6 around Downtown Guelph. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on April 12, 2009 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]() ![]()
Left - Facing east along Hwy 401 towards Toronto from the Hwy 6 South Overpass near Morriston. The ramps at the Hwy 6 South Interchange are in an "A-2"
partial cloverleaf configuration. This type of interchange ramp configuration is rather uncommon in Ontario. It is rather odd that Hwy 6 was not built with a full
eight-ramp cloverleaf interchange when Hwy 401 was first built, especially considering the important role that Hwy 6 has always played in Ontario's highway network.
The Hwy 6 Interchange was one of the only non-cloverleaf provincial highway interchanges along Hwy 401 between London and Toronto. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on April 12, 2009 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing west along Hwy 401 towards Cambridge from the Hwy 6 South Overpass near Morriston. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on April 12, 2009 - © Cameron Bevers) ![]()
Above - Western side of the Hwy 6 South Overpass on Hwy 401. Built in 1959 under Contract #1959-242, this concrete box girder structure is arguably one of the
least attractive bridges on Hwy 401 between Cambridge and Toronto. The recent bridge rehabilitation project certainly didn't help, when the old steel handrails were
removed and replaced by concrete barriers. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on April 12, 2009 - © Cameron Bevers)
