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.

Famous quotes containing the words county and/or road:
“I could draw Bloom County with my nose and pay my cleaning lady to write it, and I’d bet I wouldn’t lose 10% of my papers over the next twenty years. Such is the nature of comic-strips. Once established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear waste.”
—Berkeley Breathed (b. 1957)
“Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
