County Road 19 (also known as Manning Road) is among the busiest roads in Essex County, Ontario, as it provides a direct route from Highway 401 into Tecumseh, Ontario and St. Clair Beach, Ontario, as well as a very direct route to Windsor, Ontario via E.C. Row Expressway.
The road starts at its intersection with Riverside Drive, and continues southbound to Townline Road (County Road 8), just east of Essex, Ontario.
The part of the road between Division Road/CR 42 road was designated as part of Highway 39 from 1934 to 1961, when the Pike Creek Bypass opened.
For much of its length, the road is only 2 lanes wide and in average to deplorable condition, though the Town of Tecumseh is widening the road from north of Tecumseh Road (County Road 2), south towards its intersection with E.C. Row Expressway (County Road 22), with assistance from the Provincial and Federal governments.

“Much as I own I owe
The passers of the past
Because their to and fro
Has cut this road to last,
I owe them more today
Because they’ve gone away....”
