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.

Highway 63 winds its way northeasterly from North Bay along Trout Lake.

Highway 11 north of North Bay, at the now-closed provincial mental health facility there. Facing south towards the city.

Not the greatest photo, but this isn’t a perspective that I get often. I had the chance to fly from North Bay back to London for the long weekend for just a little more than it would have been to take the bus, so I jumped at the chance.
