Facing south towards the interchange of Highway 11 and Lakeshore Drive in the south end of North Bay. A bit of history here, prior to 1987, Pinewood Park Drive- the road that roughly parallels Hwy 11 here- was the main route of the highway. Lakeshore Drive itself was known as Highway 11B prior to 1998, and was even a part of Highway 11 before the designation was re-routed to the North Bay bypass in 1959.
