Present Day King's Highway 7B (Madoc) Photographs
Left - Deer Creek Bridge on Old Hwy 7 (now Hwy 62) in Madoc. Structure completed in 1949. (Photograph taken on July 24, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Junction of Old Hwy 7 and Hwy 62 at St. Lawrence Street and Durham Street in Downtown Madoc, facing east. Originally, Hwy 7 continued straight through at this intersection on its route towards Ottawa. After the Madoc Bypass was completed in 1967, the old route of Hwy 7 became Hwy 7B. Although Hwy 7B was decommissioned many years ago, this intersection still serves a King's Highway. At this intersection, Hwy 62 turns right and proceeds south towards Belleville. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on July 24, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers)
Left - Facing north along Hwy 62 (Durham Street) towards the Old Hwy 7 Junction (St. Lawrence Street) in Downtown Madoc. To continue north on Hwy 62,
northbound traffic must turn left at this intersection. For a brief period during the 1960s, Hwy 7 and Hwy 62 shared a short concurrent route through Madoc,
but it was discontinued after the Madoc Bypass was completed and opened to traffic in 1967. St. Lawrence Street was briefly signed as Hwy 7B, until the
business route was decommissioned in 1970. (Photograph taken on July 24, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - This overhead flashing beacon at Old Hwy 7 and Hwy 62 in Downtown Madoc likely dates from the 1950s. (Photograph taken on July 24, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers)
Above - Facing south along Hwy 62 from St. Lawrence Street (Old Hwy 7) in Downtown Madoc. See an
