Above - Aerial view of Hwy 401 at the Hwy 6 Interchange near Morriston in 1974. This interchange was originally constructed as a four-ramp "Parclo A-2" interchange in 1959-1960. It is interesting to note that the Hwy 6 Interchange is the only interchange along Hwy 401 between Toronto and Woodstock that has not been reconfigured in some way or another since the highway was first built in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Photo taken in 1974.
