History of King's Highway 15A (Alt) Ashton-Stittsville:

King's Highway 15A (Alt) was created in 1956, when a more direct Highway 15 alignment opened to traffic between Ashton and Stittsville. This relocation of Highway 15 was a Trans-Canada Highway project that was started in 1955. Once the relocation project was completed in late 1956, the original route of Highway 15 through Ashton and Stittsville (via Ashton Station Road, Ormond Road, Flewellyn Road, Huntley Road and Main Street) became Highway 15A (Alt). Beginning in 1961, Highway 7 was extended east to Ottawa via an overlapped route with Highway 15. As a result, a Highway 7A (Alt) route was also established which ran concurrently with Highway 15A (Alt) for its entire length starting in 1961. The concurrent route of Highway 7A (Alt) and Highway 15A (Alt) was decommissioned in 1969, when jurisdiction over the highway was transferred from the province to the municipal tier. Jurisdiction over the easternmost section of the highway from Stittsville southerly to Stanley Corners was transferred from the province to the newly-created Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, effective January 1, 1969. This section of the highway subsequently became part of Ottawa-Carleton Regional Road 5. The balance of the highway from Stanley Corners westerly to the Highway 7 & Highway 15 Junction at Ashton Station was transferred to the Township of Beckwith and the Township of Goulbourn, effective April 1, 1969.
