Present Day Tertiary Highway 811 Photographs
Left - Hwy 527 and Hwy 811 Junction, facing north towards Armstrong. These two highways intersect about 120 km north of Thunder Bay. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Junction sign assembly at the eastern terminus of Hwy 811. This highway junction lies roughly midway between Armstrong and Thunder Bay on Hwy 527. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - View of Hwy 811 immediately west of the Hwy 527 Junction. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing west along Hwy 811 about 15 km west of the Hwy 527 Junction. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - View of Hwy 811 about 40 km west of Hwy 527. The road here is wide and well-maintained. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - View of Hwy 811 about 50 km west of Hwy 527. The road here is much narrower. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - Hwy 811 is primarily a forest access road. The eastern portions of this highway are frequently used by logging companies to reach their forest
harvesting areas, and thus the road is well maintained. Beyond the areas which are being actively harvested, Hwy 811 is in a relatively poor state of repair. The
area shown in this photo was last harvested in the 1980s, and therefore, the road sees virtually no traffic anymore. The highway near Weaver River is becoming quite
overgrown with weeds. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - There are places where fallen trees obstruct part of the roadway near the highway's western terminus at Weaver River. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - The only eastbound route marker on Hwy 811 is just east of the Weaver River Bridge. See an
Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - The "Hwy 811 Ends" sign at the Weaver River Bridge used to be a "TO 800" trailblazer. This sign marks the end of Ontario's highest-numbered signed provincial highway. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
Left - The western terminus of Hwy 811 is at a one-lane bridge over the Weaver River. In the mid-1970s, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC)
studied a possible extension of Hwy 811 from this point westerly to join with Hwy 599 at Savant Lake. However, the highway connection was never built, and Hwy 811 has
ended at this remote location at the Weaver River since 1977. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - View of the southern side of the Weaver River Bridge at the western terminus of Hwy 811. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers)

Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Facing east along Hwy 811 from the Weaver River Bridge. See an Enlarged Photo Here. (Photograph taken on September 2, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers)
